Pros

Generally a friendly place to work.

People like what they do and are great to work with.

Cons

They are less and less interested in building great software and more and more interested in short-sighted, quick wins.

Advice to Management

The speed you are getting is costing you in ways you can't see. The metrics you are chasing are not likely to serve you well in the long term.
