Pros
Good people, sense of camaraderie under intense pressure
Remote work
Cons
Lack of leadership from C-suite.
Intense pressure.
12 hour days quite common.
Constant firefighting.
Certain people have very loud voices but lack ability.
Opportunity to re-architect was shelved.
Over reliance on contractors, some of questionable ability, leaving a legacy of crud on top of the crud.
Senior devs stuck in their ways makes selling improvements an uphill battle.
