Pros
• Welcoming environment for freethinking, as new ideas are wanted and discussed • Excited to improve and not afraid to change to make that happen • Management are developers; therefore, they can empathize with you about the challenges of being a developer • Frequent opportunities to learn new things and grow as a developer • Professional development expected and encouraged through access to company provided training and time • Balanced approach between collaboration and focus development time • Given the tools you need to get your job done • A practical development approach that is focused on the customer • Developers work throughout the entire code base not just a specialized area • Working remotely
Cons
• The practical development approach may be frustrating to some developers who prefer a more "by the book" approach • Working throughout the entire code base may not fit the developer who prefers only front-end development, for example • Working remotely isn't for everyone; it requires self-disciple and self-motivation
