Pros

They offer a good salary and excellent benefits, interesting products to work on, and plenty of opportunities for additional training. They are flexible with hours and working from home.

Cons

Too much time spent on process and not on the actual work. This means we can't move quickly. Too many people are involved in the most minor of decisions.

Advice to Management

If customers drive the development schedule, they will get the products they deserve, rather than good products.

The company is getting too big and can't only hire the best people.

Having products developed in multiple countries may be cheaper, but when development teams are in time zones 10 hours apart, they can't cooperate all that well, so the product quality suffers.
