Pros

Great team, really supportive of each other. Usually, work-life balance is preserved, and the current manager is good at maintaining it.

Cons

Lots of legacy tools/applications. For example, deployment is too complex, and the process to do it is only used within the firm, so it has no use outside the firm or other companies.

Sometimes you have to work on the weekend to deploy the application, so that is a poor choice made by management.

Even though my manager/team is quite nice in general, the senior management is just awful. They try to keep forcing everyone back to the office, as well as finding ways to micromanage more.

The salary is a bit lower than the market due to recent inflation and management NOT CARING to adjust current employees' salaries, so be prepared to get a yearly raise that is lower than the inflation rate.

Advice to Management

Value your existing employees so that they won't leave the firm within a year.

Start adopting the latest technologies and eliminate the legacy ones.
