Pros

Fast-paced company, decent pay, free lunches, and yoga classes. The work is interesting, and the people are great.

Cons

The technology stack is old, and no real investment is done to improve it. There is no flexibility in moving from team to team; you are stuck in the team you were hired for.

There is no real career track. You can be stuck in the same place doing the same things for many years.

The waterfall development process is disguised as scrum, which does not really work.

Context switching from customer issues to tasks happens on a daily basis.

Advice to Management

Empower the team - let the engineering organize in a way that makes sense.

Refresh the technology stack - you'll be able to hire more and retain more folks with that.
