Pros

Good work-life balance. People always willing to help.

Cons

Company not moving fast enough, most of the time doing catch-up.

New teams are usually good; old ones are mostly for code maintenance and debugging, with no new work.

Intra-company job changes require a full interview process, which decreases workforce mobility inside the company.

Advice to Management

Remove intra-company interviews. This discourages new grads from joining, as every time you're tired of what you're doing, you need to go back and study, as a new grad, all the stuff that you never use.
