Pros

Depends wildly on your team. I've found there is a strong focus on learning, which is nice, as well as maintaining relationships. Decent work/life balance. Work can either be interesting or extremely aggravating.

Cons

There is no real room for advancement unless you happen to be the lucky few to latch onto a senior executive.

Salaries are below industry average, and they will string you along if you ask for more without committing.

There are too many managers. The closer technical management gets to the front office, the more childlike they behave. There is no unity in technologies across even very related parts of the firm because each manager treats their product like an individual product in an open market that must be preserved and advertised over other, similar systems. There is little cooperation.

Advice to Management

Move into the 21st century.
