Pros

Directly building something people use is great.

Cons

No career growth. I was in the same role 3 years after I was hired. "Speed wins" is used to justify sloppy work and never addressing the mountain of technical debt. New technologies, even those proven elsewhere in the industry, are resisted.

Advice to Management

Stop being such a bureaucratic, process-driven company. Your best people aren't seeing the recognition (title and salary) and are leaving.
