Pros

Salary and challenge. It is a good place to work for a fresh student out of college, but it might not be the best place for a seasoned developer who might want to achieve something. Salary-wise, this is okay but not the best. Work culture-wise, it is good.

Good ethics are there, but it also depends on the group that you work in. Some people have good skills and knowledge sharing, but many do not possess that and do not know how to keep talent within the company. It also depends on the manager that you work under.

Cons

Salary is sometimes completely arbitrary and not proportionate to talent.

Advice to Management

Work on challenging projects.
