Vantaggi
Good pay and benefits. The annual bonus can be nice. As long as you work hard and do a good job and management happens to notice you then you will have good job security. This is because the company seems pretty stable and is growing. Sometimes we have "team building" activities.
Svantaggi
We are constantly massively disorganized and in a "hurry up, fix it, and put out the fire" mode. Everything is chaos. It is amazing that anything ever gets done. As the company grows this problem just grows right along with it. Communication is horrible, company politics are king, you are promised things that never happen, you never know any release dates, and you are never given feedback on how you are doing. When the annual reviews come around they just make a bunch of stuff up to satisfy who they want to give raises and bonuses to based on politics. Everyone is just scared to cross the main manager. Developers aren't valued for their creative or leadership abilities. Instead they are treated like an assembly line worker. This happens unless you somehow get liked by management on that specific day. Opportunities for advancement are not based on reality or job performance but based on some illogical process that no one could possibly understand, changes day to day, and is highly based on politics.
