Pros

Modern tech stack, but that's all, but it's degrading in our eyes since February. Easy to not do nothing for 1-3 weeks and get away with it. The most powerful person in a team is product owner, has more powers than managers and can actually impact decision making process. Salary is below market average.

Cons

Beautiful example of a waterfall development dressed into agile clothes. Still surprised Backbase isn't SAFe certified. Angry shouting customers are releasing their stress towards on call developers. Single person can't make any impact on the company, neither a team of 10. All voices of reason will be moved to a black hole if it doesn't fit a long term agenda. Individual contributors are left alone and their great ideas shut down by the nearest managers. No one has any idea what to do with better skilled developers, could have been much better, but there are no incentives to work on improvements. Lots of empty promises, most coming from CEO during Townhall.
