Pros

Work in the education sector. Was a great place when I joined.

Cons

Grown to be all about politics. Management with friendly face but different actions. Huge technical debt due to mis-management (and only growing). Complete lack of technical understanding in all upper management, incl. owners, c-level, VPs and directors (CTO, Architect and Staff Engineers have little influence). Developers are considered executors. Their technical expertise and experience doesn't count and is not valued. Developers are made responsible for targets that can't be reached because of technical debt and mis-management.
