Pros

The people are by far the biggest pro, and what keeps most people around. They are very well-rounded and intelligent people. If you perform well and are assertive, you will feel very valued and heard. You'll get exposure to lots of different technologies and a really good development of soft skills. They thrive for quality in their people, and it shows.

Cons

Poor work-life balance.

Face-time culture.

Stress for deadlines leads to rushed development of processes that results in issues maintaining and improving for the future.

Advice to Management

Pay more attention to the quality of technology. Do not let bureaucracy influence important decisions in the technology stack.
