Pros

Interesting technology/hard problems. Healthy and profitable business. Growth opportunities if you're willing to hustle and market yourself.

Cons

Declining growth opportunities/slower moving as the company gets bigger.

Declining employee happiness/engagement.

A lot of aggressive deadlines and burnout is common. Everyone is always heads down working all the time (even pre-COVID).

Need to start managing politics/image if you want to grow your career.

Employees viewed as replaceable – just extra bodies to hit deadlines.

Advice to Management

Treat your engineers like more than expendable resources.
