Pros
Workplace perks, brand name, money
Cons
Unnecessary rush to meet short-term KPI w/o making sure products are well-tested. Overwork the team for tasks that are not that urgent. Yes, if tasks are really urgent everyone can stay until 3am to finish it and no one will complain because we are all team players with ownership. But please stop faking urgency with no real reason :) Each team just optimize for their own kpis and often make decisions that are sub-optimal for the company in the long term. 1 problem which should be solved in a centralised way? Nah let's just do it the hacky way separately for our own team - and yay! we have 4 solutions for 1 problem and now it costs too much to maintain, and too much to migrate Toxic culture making fun of people who 'don't perform' . Old timers getting promoted to high position without real achievements apart from delivery. You should look at the achievement of the product not just count that it's been delivered :) Having so many unnecessary processes.
