Pros

- Opportunity to lead and grow on teams handling non-legacy code and projects

Cons

- Excessive push for unrealistic deadlines with terribly under scoped projects. - 5 team members spread between multiple projects with little to no members working on the same one. On top of that, many random asks, tasks, and questions. - Legacy codebase is over engineered, spaghetti, and breaking every other hour making development a slog. - Had no say in what the team wanted to work on when we were reorged into maintaining and being a dumpster for legacy code and tools they don't want to work on anymore. - No leadership and management does not seem to care about burnout and disengagement until almost everyone is ready to coast or leave dropping productivity. - Benefits and days off are being cut or dwindling to that of any other company and worse than some in some aspects to decrease spends and increase stock value.
