Pros

Depends on the groups you are working in. The environment could be very passionate and enthusiastic if you are working for some "core" products.

Those DEV leads are very experienced and knowledgeable and keen to answer questions you have.

The benefits here are great.

Cons

The salaries are low compared to other big IT companies. You probably need to wait a long time for a promotion.

Advice to Management

They should motivate people to make better products instead of just fighting for their own benefits and promotions.

Provide more freedom.
