Pros

Free snacks.

Learn from the mistakes of others.

Lots of solving problems that shouldn't exist.

Cons

NO work/life balance. EXTREMELY LIMITED room for growth. Cliques everywhere. No collaboration. No job security.

Advice to Management

Stop becoming a business based on cliques.

Learn how the code works rather than assuming everyone should know it out of the box.

Don't hire too many people.

Stop encouraging complex solutions when the easy solution is to refactor the database schema.
