Pros

Nothing other than Work from home.

Cons

In addition, the director frequently gets involved in reviewing individual code changes and scrutinizing developers' work. This creates an intimidating environment where developers may feel constantly monitored rather than supported. Based on my experience, prospective employees should be aware of this workplace culture before joining.
