Pros
Positive - get a good manager who cares about you as a person and your success, otherwise, to other managers, you are just a number and not valued. Pay is good. Work can be challenging and interesting.
Cons
* Can be a very tough environment to work. * There is a LOT (a LOT) of turnover - not in just one area but in multiple areas. People leave, take their knowledge with them and go find better opportunity elsewhere. * Lack of good onboarding. * Lack of clear communication. * Some bosses are toxic and try to manage via negative comments and try to embarrass you in meetings with your colleagues. * Lot of reorganizations. People get moved around like pieces on a checker board. (This is bad if you finally find a good manager...you'll eventually get moved). * Need more true Agile development. "Agile-Fall" is their term for trying to mix the two methodologies together. That won't work. People who don't know Agile are going to be really confused. * The company and most/if not all departments are against working remotely. Some departments have a hybrid schedule but the days you work in office is CLOSELY monitored. close to being Micromanaged. If you want the freedom with your schedule - this company is not for you. If you have days planned to have the roof fixed -for example, you have to switch your work from home day to be the day they fix the roof....or take that day off. Doesn't sound bad but each day you work from the office, it is monitored. * Company needs to figure out how to keep people at the company and decrease the turnover. when there is constant turnover, it is hard to keep a team together with good dynamics. It is constantly changing when people keep leaving.
