Pros

Good benefits, vacation, and sick days. Higher end total compensation. Good work-life balance depending on team/project. Internal mobility is highly encouraged. Culture and people are the best things about the company. Fast-paced and interesting projects depending on team.

Cons

Tech debt is not a priority, and lots of legacy systems are hanging around.

Upper leadership is clueless about the product and disconnected with the user base.

There's a lack of long-term planning -- pivots and reorgs happen often.

Teams are often in silos and only push for features to get promoted.

Advice to Management

Lack of a years-long plan and too many quick pivots. Your employees spend a lot more time in the product than you do. Please listen to them and let them work, or every solution is going to be a hack to meet deadlines.

"Dev velocity" metrics are vain and toxic unless you understand what the numbers mean.
