Pros

There was a good starting salary. Some assignments are interesting.

Cons

Refreshers are very low.

Expectations are super high. Many times you are expected to solve problems caused by the organization itself.

Everything is on you, even if you are set up for failure.

Advice to Management

You are starting to treat your employees poorly.
