Pros

Low expectation. A lot of people just coast and do minimum work. Easy to be a top performer here. Excellent work life balance.

Cons

Poor tooling. Management think letting software engineers use 10+ years old desktops is acceptable. No career growth. Outdated tech stack. Executives and VPs are not taking software development seriously. Keep losing software contracts so not a stable job for software engineers. Fails to retain smart people.
