Pros

Good company culture and executive leadership

Cons

Vapid, vacuous and virtually absent middle management tier. Limited growth opportunity, no strategic planning for departmental development. Tenured staff given preferential treatment despite repeated documented negative impact. Stale tech stack with an immature development and support methodology.
