Pros

If you like a corporate environment, you will feel at home. There are a lot of benefits, such as extra (predetermined) vacation days for errands, group bonding events, and so on.

Cons

Everything bad about corps and more.

Senior management is chasing unattainable and undesirable dreams. Middle management is clueless. The frontline management is only bothered by making their team shine, many times at the cost of other teams.

Every single level of management is flawed in one way or another. As an employee, it makes the job insufferable.

No one cares about writing good, clean code (or even making sure it works like it should and doesn't break anything else). The priorities shift so often most projects get abandoned after the POC.

Advice to Management

Listen to your workers, invest more in capable engineers, and stop thinking you or your manager know what's best, when most times you are embarrassingly unknowledgeable.
