Great for Beginners, But Not for Seasoned Engineers
Pros
• Good learning environment for freshers – You get exposure to multiple areas of development quickly. • Small team = more ownership – As a beginner, you get a chance to wear multiple hats and gain hands-on experience fast. • Supportive peers – Most junior and mid-level engineers are friendly and collaborative. • Exposure to live projects – You’ll get a real feel for working in production environments early on.
Cons
• Not much technical depth – The projects often lack architectural challenges, which can be limiting for senior devs. • Minimal mentorship for seniors – Not a lot of technical leadership or growth plans for experienced engineers. • Process and tooling are immature – CI/CD, testing strategies, and code reviews are basic or inconsistent. • Career progression unclear – No structured path for seniors to grow into leadership or specialize in areas like architecture or DevOps.
