Started out fun. One year in, managers became extremely overbearing. The team structure changed, and there was a lot of micromanagement

Pros

The team was full of very smart, very talented developers and testers.

The location was convenient for many people. A farmer's market was across the street.

Cons

Micromanaging became extremely overbearing.

All requirements started to become unreachable; more content was expected in less time.

As employees began leaving one at a time, the requirements stayed the same, requiring many hours of unpaid overtime.

Advice to Management

Less micromanaging makes employees feel more secure. The employees need to know they are appreciated.
