Pros

You can learn a lot, and it’s a solid career booster. The pay can be better than other companies, but not at market rate for software engineering.

Cons

Higher stress and more work than most other companies. More rigid culturally, and high turnover.

Advice to Management

Seek a better work-life balance.

Create real relationships with your subordinates.

Stop making excuses on compensation.
