Pros

Good work-life balance and good benefits.

Cons

People whom I have seen in technology are not passionate or motivated about what they are doing. Some engineering teams are lacking vision and are not structured and managed properly. A very lazy and laid-back culture exists. This is not great for any person with a passion for work, technology, and for someone who wants to build things. Very few full-time engineers are present, and they heavily rely on contractors to do all tasks.

Advice to Management

Try to clearly outline a vision, team structure, etc. It's good to have more full-time engineers who can take ownership.
