Pros

It is a good place for survivors that just want to get paid. There were no pros for talented people.

Cons

Managers often don't know anything about programming, code quality, or software quality.

There is more staff work, getting permission, and entitlement than actual coding.

There are endless meetings, which are a complete waste of time as there is no plan.

There is so much politics. You just have to know people and build relations.

If you are a motivated developer that wants to deliver good work, don't go there.

Advice to Management

Start learning! Your old way of doing things does not work anymore.
