Pros

- Friendly people - Collaborative work environment where you can hop on call with someone at any time - Opportunity for ownership and leadership

Cons

- Due to there being 50-100 developers across 10+ teams, there is a decent amount of friction in project planning and project orchestration for projects spanning multiple teams - Early project kickoff meetings can be wasteful of developers time - Flip flopping on priorities - Occasional lack of leadership from product team

Leadership continually shifts priorities, which requires working fast and furious and means taking shortcuts and creating lots of tech debt. Lack of communication from leadership and upper management.
