Pros

The exposure that I got to different technologies and working with different teams was remarkable.

Cons

Total exploitation of workers. I used to work on weekends and late nights for a project whose deadline had passed. All kinds of pressure were exerted on developers to meet deadlines. I'm not against that, but working on weekends and late nights with no additional payment for this large corporate company is just bad. Anyone can sue them. Therefore, they need to follow standards and regulations to avoid exploiting their workers.

Advice to Management

Management shouldn't be dictatorships. All I hear is one manager shouting at another during scrum calls. Please make it a stress-free environment so that people don't leave. The managers you have in place have totally manipulated and changed it to their advantage, where workers aren't heard at all. So the manager can put a bad name on you, and since he has worked there for a decade, no matter what you say won't convince the HR or higher management people. I was in total shock when I discovered this. Many developers stay for a short time and just leave.
