Pros

Some months are slower. Taking time off is encouraged. Management is open to changes and listens to you.

Cons

On-call is known to be one of the worst in the industry (Google search this). Many teams are burnt out during busier quarters. Management constantly switches directions, and many tasks involve busy work that ends up not being used.

Advice to Management

Hire more engineers. There's a lot of burnout across teams. Increase pay for engineers and cut middle management as needed. Completely change the on-call culture; it's not healthy.
