Pros

1. Most of the people are really fun and friendly and that makes it easy to work with them. 2. Being a product company you get a lot exposure to all parts of applications from development to deployment.

Cons

1. The technology stack is quite old but the company is catching up with the latest ones. 2. A few people are really tough to work with because of their attitude and general behaviour. These are generally the folks who got promoted from technical roles to management roles without much training or they were just not made for the role.

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
