Pros

Friendly people.

Nice modern office with cheap food.

It's nice to join if you've given up on a career as a developer or if you are an archaeologist. Here you will have eternity at your disposal to dig into codebases older than you. Also, you will learn tools and languages that were modern two decades ago.

Cons

If you want to keep your developer skills up-to-date, or learn something new, then run away. Plus, there's friction everywhere – tons of handwork and practically none automation.

Advice to Management

Start removing friction from the process. Modernize codebase and tooling. Automate things.
