Pros

- Open door policy - Good managers - Friendly teammates - Company pushes you to learn - Good medical benefits - Open to new technologies

Cons

- Engineers are required to do everything at once almost covering every role from scrum master, to PO, to software design and architecture - If the company is in trouble, it won't hesitate to lessen its manpower and sacrifice a good workplace to reduce budget at the expense of its employee's welfare - With declining manpower and poor office facilities, those who are left are still expected to deliver fast
