Pros

Pay is adequate, though raises/promotions are sparse.

Most coworkers and front-line managers are friendly and qualified.

Cons

Unreasonably short deadlines. Poorly-done agile. Scatterbrained upper-management decisions chasing short-term revenue goals. Long hours with no corresponding rewards.

Advice to Management

Look at peer hyperscalers and do what they are doing. Concentrate on work-life. Fifty-five-plus hour work-weeks result in burnout, and when the job market improves, staff will leave as soon as their RSUs vest.
