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.
Kontras
• 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.
