Pros

Great peers, fun collaboration, and legitimately interesting technical problems. Good career growth opportunities, decent compensation.

Cons

Tech leadership direction is reactive. Tech debt projects get half addressed then cancelled, which leaves things worse than not starting.

Advice to Management

Set a clearer vision. If changing direction frequently is necessary, constrain timelines appropriately.
