Pros

Great people in the team.

Cons

Very old technologies, standards used. If you come up with an idea, they tell you that you need to convince 1200 developers, which is insane.

It is very difficult to change something regarding software. They don't allow it, except if you struggle a lot with it.

Too much bureaucracy.

No Composer, no design patterns, no SOLID principles :(

Advice to Management

Stop dictating to developers what to do.

Create tasks to reflect the business value, not the technical changes.

You should not know what to change in databases.
