Pros
Full benefits, 3 weeks vacation starting and flexible schedule. Interesting and fulfilling domain.
Cons
Core tech stack is severely outdated and will very likely not be upgraded for the lifetime of the app. There is no pressure on management to invest in technology because the business just doesn't demand it. Vast majority of the software work is business as usual maintenance changes and configuration. Asking for a few dollars spent on technology feels like asking your miserly grandpa to buy you a frappe at Starbucks. Management has no roadmap and just accepts all work from business end. Project planning is just gut feeling guesses about when projects will wrap up without consulting devs. Always way off, of course. Too much work simultaneously across disparate clients which means devs are siloed- don't expect to talk to your team. That leaves no resources to build culture or team a atmosphere. Because management over-commits, you're always behind and there's never breather lull periods. Very manager-centric philosophy, trickles down into the standups, for example. Managers do most of the talking while trembling devs re-assure that they'll be done with their user story tomorrow. Your performance will not turn into any meaningful raise. Employees are working overtime left and right so it's just status quo. They haven't figured out a track for engineers to build their careers and even if they did, they don't have the resources to make it meaningful. Very bad requirements in a complex domain. Management just not interested in investing in their engineers or technology. Just a BAU factory. Desperately trying to appease their overlord clients.
