Minpunten

Most corporate, bureaucratic place I've ever worked. They claimed to be Agile but essentially ran waterfall in 2-week sprints. My team did not include a Product Owner (or any representative from Product), so any questions had to be routed/filtered through my manager, up a few levels and then back down. The business stakeholders we worked with seemed openly hostile/resistant to Agile--even after having completed 1 week of company-mandated Agile training. They still wanted waterfall rather than iterative development/delivery. Be prepared for the CEO to completely blow up your lives once per quarter or so. He will decide that some change needs to be made in 2 weeks, after which everyone scrambles to complete it on time, regardless of what had been planned. Very hostile to remote work. Fortunately, I started right after lockdown when the company was more open to it. Since I had been told I could work remotely when I was hired, I was grandfathered in--at least under the table by my manager. Technically, though, I was supposed to be hybrid. Compensation was on the low end. 401k matching is not guaranteed. Had to wait 2 months for health insurance coverage, which is unacceptable.

Pluspunten

Members are great and free membership is a perk. Coworkers are supportive.

Minpunten

You will be micromanaged to death, whether you have three weeks of experience or 20 years. Policies are vague. Communication with leadership is poor. You can be a strong, experienced performer and have very few classes, or brand new and get 8 a week. There appears to be no logic or strategy to anything that happens.
