Pros

You can get far in the company if you're skilled and hardworking. Most of the employees are deadweight, so you can stand out quite easily.

Cons

Since most employees are deadweight, you have to stay on and do everything, meet impossible deadlines, go through multiple layers of meaningless bureaucracy and 'security'. Also, forget about your social life.

Advice to Management

Listen to your devs. You can't solve the problem of your outdated systems by hiring more people and just throwing money at them without understanding the root of the problem.
