Pros

Flexible work hours, good team members.

Cons

Not much support for remote work compared to other companies.

Very bright, talented people. They are being limited to a certain feature or component, and developers rarely get a full feeling for the entire product they build.

I agree with another post, which says there is no encouragement for innovation. Most people just cruise along without thinking of innovation.

Advice to Management

Encourage and promote people based on innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. Encourage mobility within the company and, to some extent, make it mandatory to spread knowledge.
