Pros

Colleagues are very knowledgeable; Managers respect the workers and know how to manage the workload. All the situations where I saw some teams lagging behind the managers were very supporting and stood for their direct reports. There is a great life balance. The work environment is incredibly healthy. Generally this is a company which deeply understands that nurturing the well-being of the employee is nurturing their bottom line.

Cons

very competitive environment for career progression. It is difficult to develop yourself since some people try to get ahold of a specific area and dominate it (even by making your own work difficult - e.g. purposely postpone code reviews, constantly iterating over small things in code reviews, not disclosing the full details on some part of the code or past issues faced... )

Pros

Fantastically little manager oversight. I hate being micromanaged. Give me some direction and let me work. In this way, it is great. I contract through a staffing agency, who I also never talk to. A dream. Pay is good. Expectations are low (which could be a con for some).

Cons

There is really no manager guidance, and hardly any feedback. Managers aren't allowed to meet regularly with contractors. Very hierarchical. Super slow task initiation. SUPER slow implementation. Like a six-month to one-year dev backlog. Not a good fit if you're hungry and a change-agent and live to make work processes better. Did I say slow? I meant glacial. And tribal/political. And scrumfall dysfunction. Other than that, it's great.
