Pros

At first, you get to coast if you join the right team. Pay at first was decent for right out of college, but with inflation and more work, it's not enough.

Cons

If you do get put to work, you're not learning much. You're mostly caught up with BS like maintenance, debugging, legacy code, documenting, and re-writing poorly written Jiras. The pay isn't enough with inflation. Management tries to squeeze as much out of its employees for as little pay as possible. The hybrid lifestyle is being removed. Terrible work-life balance.

Advice to Management

Manage timelines for new features to clients better.

If you're requiring employees to return to the office, cultivate a better work culture.

Have in-person meetings instead of just having employees sit at their desks.

Can't screenshare easily anymore without Zoom? Reserve a conference room with a display and give all employees laptops they can connect to the display if needed.
