Prós
Free breakfast and lunch. Generally good work–life balance. The Engineering / Product departments seem to have better projects that support skill growth and career development. I honestly can’t think of any pros specific to the Business Apps department.
Contras
Obsession with “velocity” and delivery metrics, often at the expense of real value. Claims to follow Agile, but in practice there is very little focus on process, quality, or the end customer. Some managers lack basic professional communication etiquette and tend to be controlling and micromanaging, which makes the team environment stressful. Roles and responsibilities are unclear — there is no real separation between manager, scrum master, and product owner. Below-market pay for a full-stack developer. Very few (if any) projects that actually help with skill development or long-term career growth. Traditional and backward approach to the SDLC, resistant to modern best practices.
