Pros

Good benefits, good culture, focus on mental health, more or less fully remote.

Cons

My biggest complaint is that recently it feels like upper management has had a lot of demands for new, shiny features. While that's fine, trying to develop many features quickly on the Salesforce core monolith is incredibly difficult.

It doesn't seem like any development processes will change drastically in the near future. So, many developers on many teams are stuck trying to develop using incredibly outdated tech and processes in general.

Trying to develop, build, test, and QA features (basically your whole entire job :() can take so long for simple things and be a HUGE pain in the rear end as a result.

Advice to Management

Keep in mind long development processes and also legacy issues when planning for work.
