Pros

Pay was decent; full-time has solid benefits.

Cons

The code was seriously the worst I've ever seen. Every team has different standards, and the code base itself is the most tangled spaghetti, using older patterns or, worse, incorrect patterns.

The office setting and corporate bureaucracy is a dystopian mess that would make Mike Judge blush.

Advice to Management

Let workers be remote. Have some uniform standards for the codebase. Fire fifty percent of the people who are just making busywork. Get rid of the disjointed bureaucracy for a more vertical model.
