Pluspunten
- Depending on the team, working remotely is treated well. - Not a great place, but not bad either. - All in all, an okay job. Not great, not good, but not bad. Shortcomings of the company are frustrating, but you can leave it at the door.
Minpunten
- Despite much of management working remote, have to fight tooth and nail to earn the privilege of remote - Important projects have long trails of expensive managers from everywhere heavily invested, but only 1-2 poorly treated developer in Poland, Belarus, Philippines, etc from a staffing firm. If you are in the US then it is poorly treated visa employees. - Delivery quality is low and deadlines are struggling to be met so they double down on cost cutting, rather than investing time into training developers. - Lots of talk about how they are investing training their employees, but no budget is allocated for it at all. Not even basic AWS certificates. Don't even dream about tuition reimbursement. - Lots of ethnic tribalism. People cover their "own" at the detriment of team, department, and institutional trust. For Site Reliability Engineering, this is a fatal blow. How can you have a culture that truly captures the benefits of learning from mistakes through open postmortems, when people are covering up their incidents? You can't learn from mistakes if people are covering them up, and then punishing the outgroup for being honest about their own errors.
