Pros

Nice office (the company tries to avoid open space), a very nice family-like atmosphere. Quite challenging tasks. Very nice work/life balance. Free fruits daily.

Cons

Quite outdated technologies, huge unaddressed technical debt, very slow development due to this. However, there are few activities driven from the dev side to address that and improve the situation. Without high management support, it won't help to address this huge debt in an observable time.

Limited possibilities to grow after you've reached a senior position.

Strange version of Scrum. POs don't do their role. They work as proxies between the PM and the team.

Advice to Management

Not only pay attention to what developers complain about and then forget, or send up to a higher level, but please take a decision and act.
