Pros

Good people to work with, dedicated and friendly.

Cons

Completely ineffective producers whose only job is to communicate and organize fail every day to communicate and organize. Always holding unneeded meetings that take hours and taking away from limited production time. Never held accountable for failed production. We could get three times more work done if management knew what they were doing. Top heavy management. more managers than are really needed. middle management is toxic and we can't get anything done. Nobody communicates. Company is losing its software engineers quickly because they won’t stop and listen to what is wrong and adapt. very amateur operation.

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
