Pros

The company is turning the corner to adopt the latest technology stack.

Real software, large scale, large customer base, agile processes - isn't that what we use to justify that we know how to build software? Because to me, real software is more than just prototyping on a greenfield.

Stability. I know it will be worth it for me when a recession hits and startups and big companies start letting go. That's one more reason working here has its benefits.

Cons

Last year, it was a bit slow. It took some time to iron out some SR hires, directional changes, etc.

But these days, not too much.

Advice to Management

Hang out with all your devs, not just the SR ones, to avoid a large-company type feel.
