Wonderful long-term goal.
Overall Benefits: Not as good as some, but better than most.
Small teams. Large say in what happens (if you wish).
- Low pay due to "Manufacturing." Not as good as "Technology."
- "Speed of light" pace. Miscalculate by 1 millisecond, and you are 186 miles off course.
- Nepotism.
- Little communication between teams. Very little planning/integration between teams.
- Very little overall "system design." Lots of "by the seat of your pants" development going on (see "light speed pace").
- Selection of "sub optimal" technologies due to "well, I know C#/Microsoft" instead of selecting large enterprise-ready tools/systems. "If your only tool is a hammer, all your problems become nails."
- SEVERE! employee burnout/apathy.
