Cons
-Compensation is below market (estimated ~10–15% lower than comparable roles). - Salary growth is limited and year-end increases do not keep pace with inflation - Career progression opportunities are constrained and often tied to budget availability. -Centralized decision-making from a parent organization can slow execution and create misalignment. - Limited feature and system documentation, making onboarding and knowledge transfer difficult. - Continued reliance on team members for context due to documentation gaps. - Existing technical debt still impacts development efficiency despite ongoing improvements.
