      Pros

      Good people, good pay, good work environment, people are friendly and helpful.

      Cons

      Communication is bad, most people including middle-management do not know what is going on in the company. Sometimes even Eng. Managers are not aware about company decisions. No long-term plan for teams on growth, nurture and retention. People leaving and layoffs are common. Onboarding in tech is not good - no proper plan for team building or buddy program. Lack of planning and vision and overall poor communication between management and employees.
