Pros

Was a great company at a department level. Intelligent people who got stuff done, and a product we could be proud of. Real sense of teamwork.

Cons

Doesn't invest in its people. Several big releases in a row led to tired employees. The reward for doing good work was more work. The training budget was cut, but that didn't matter anymore because, at that point, there wasn't any time to train anyway. Technical debt built up, and we didn't have enough people to address it.

Advice to Management

Try to think beyond the next few quarters, and invest in your software development.
