Pros
Some genuinely great developers who do the best they can in the poor development environment they have to work in.
Kontras
Years and years of questionable decisions from those in charge of the development proccess make for a incredibly difficult to work with codebase with bugs being an accepted outcome of every single release. Projects which have been going on for years which will supposedly improve the product, with questionably no enddate decided, which both add complexity and seem to be actively making the things worse. Very poor project management/communication, with regular occurences of features that have been promised to the customer for the next day and developers only just being informed the day before. Serious lack of development industy standards, no contineous integration, clean code, or things in place to monitor whether the code base is getting better or worse. Serious lack of proper leadership from management Advice from developers is very much disregarded when decisons have already been made from management. Seems to be more of an effort to make sure there is the perception that things are going well rather than doing the right thing and fixing the problems. Regular occurences of developers having to work over their regular hours to help address bugs or deliver features that are needed yesterday rather then fixing the issues with project management
