Pros

Great pay. Great benefits. The entire technical side of the company prioritizes health and wellbeing.

Cons

Tech stack is miserable.

New first-party technologies re-invent the wheel at every step of the way, creating bottlenecks for getting work out the door.

Corporate bureaucracy completely blocks any kind of innovation or forward progress.

Literally more than 80% of development time is spent doing some form of required "paperwork" before being able to complete the actual development work at hand.

Advice to Management

Your developers are miserable. A 5-year plan on fixing it won't be fast enough.
