Pros: The company is highly invested in the research results.

Cons: Micromanaging of the research activities

Pros: Faster product release Higher productivity Overall process efficiency Better operational support Engaged and motivated staff Better Customer experience management

Cons: Requires a mindset overhaul across the company. Dealing with the legacy system. Practising security for CI/CD. Getting the right pool of DevOps expertise.

Pros: People are nice, hungry, and humble. Relaxed atmosphere without much work to do. Solid business and awesome marketing.

Cons: This is probably where you end up working when you have no other choice or when you get acquired, like I did. Their stack was already outdated 10 years ago and is now calcified in place. The ticket system, disguised as the workflow engine, is crippled with bugs and an awful experience for users. Internally, everything uses it. You get a taste early on during what is definitively the worst onboarding experience I ever had. It doesn't help that every meeting feels like a cult where everyone just praises the executive for being so awesome.
