Pros

Talented developers with excellent skills.

Cons

Horrid leadership that has a very passive and non-caring approach to the overall structure of the team. Absolutely the worst product team leader I've met to date. Totally not there for the right reasons and talked about their life after work, what they did with their big paycheck, Across the development team there was a severe issue being too top heavy. There were way way too many cooks in the kitchen that were never ever on the same page an then they put the blame on all the worker bees.
