Pros

Some really interesting colleagues and a useful tech stack. Personally, I'm finding an opportunity to learn skills in a new area.

Cons

Practicing scrum-fall, with a trajectory of becoming more waterfall.

Except for a few lucky favorites, there is disinterest in developing employees. It is politically charged.

A few poor engineers manage to spoil things for other engineers. It is cheap.

There are tight boundaries on job definition. Management distrusts engineers.

Advice to Management

Trust engineers, develop them, and listen to them.

Educate yourselves on the benefits, values, and principles of the Agile Manifesto.
