Pros

I think between all the free courses and managers pushing for you to progress, it can be a great place to grow your career.

Cons

The local culture has been negatively influenced by pressure that seems primarily due to a disconnect between the goals of agile development and what management wants.

Advice to Management

Either commit to the agile framework and let developers pull work, or switch to a different one.

Hearing about known bad practices being put into place is really painful for developers.

So, upper management needs to learn how to manage agile according to agile principles, or commit to a different framework that suits management.
