Pros

Laid back but almost no benefits.

Cons

Too much political drama. Managers hire their family and friends. New people, who are in their early twenties, are getting "architect" roles which should have taken them 20 years, but they are in bed with the hiring manager. It's all political BS.

You can be on the same project for a year, but your dev lead can change 3 times, and each person will have an opinion on how things should be done.

And if things don't go their way and the project fails, they will throw you under the bus!! It's all favoritism. Current management is doing a hush-hush layoff by giving BS performance improvement plans to individuals who have been doing great, but they don't want to pay severance.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the incest that's happening within management.
