Pros

Good benefits Flexibility Growth mindset Variety of work available

Cons

Pay is at the bottom of the average range. Bureaucracy is maddening. Old manufacturing/business mindsets trump development cycles.

Advice to Management

Push business users/partners to get on board with incremental development; don't expect finalized products with every deployment.

Stop suggesting developers can't be productive when not watched and micromanaged. Show more trust in those with proven track records.

Provide more information about internal positions instead of requiring volunteers with no guarantee of position or work to be done.
