Pros

Lots of creative freedom, good culture, independence as a developer and team, people are nice and respectful, easy pace of work, good benefits and pay. The business could be very successful if they make some hard decisions. There are a lot of very intelligent folks at the company with a wide skillset.

Cons

DevOps work is loaded onto developers, self-service is the ultimate desire for everything, teams have to have a lot of specific knowledge, the subject matter is very dry, managers have little to no buy-in on teams, sinking lots of effort into a bad acquisition, team leaders have no real authority but are told they should, the organization has too many middle managers to the number of developers and lots of siloing occurs between teams
