Pros

Probably one of the best combinations of pay, benefits, and work-life balance you can find. Very bottom-up and engineer-run. The baseline competence of all your coworkers is ridiculously high, so you can collaborate and delegate with confidence.

Cons

It's easy to coast, but quite difficult to get promoted and climb the ladder. Things move very slowly.

Outdated tech infrastructure that is now inferior to open source options.

Lots of smart people doing very easy work.

Advice to Management

Gradually try to bring our internal tech infrastructure closer to how things work in the outside world.
