Pros

Very structured, newer framework exposure, great benefits, beautiful office locations, awesome 401k match.

Cons

Software developers (of all levels) are treated like code monkeys where performance is strongly tied to the amount of story points you complete in a 2-week sprint. Lack of subject matter experts. High turnover, which leads to low knowledge codebase. Post covid WFH policy is stricter than the pre-covid WFH policy. Early meeting to coordinate with offshore teams. Many hats. Everyone is expected to know every framework, all programming languages, every database, all business knowledge, all low & no code solutions, ci/cd, devops, etc. Basically each developer is an entire IT department. No one is expected to specialize.
