Tech debt riddled pain
Tech debt riddled pain
- Attracts great people.
- Provides a nice office in the center of Bangkok.
- Great opportunity for job beginners (big project to learn on).
- Good salary for Bangkok.
- Absolute abysmal tech debt, which was not addressed for years.
- 100% business driven, with little understanding of iterative software processes nor how to nourish a good dev culture.
- Management is a bit arrogant and does not respect developers as much (high fluctuation). To be fair, this has been addressed over the years.
- Strange promotions (better if you know someone who can help you out wink or bootstrap your promotion).
- Tech stack: over-engineered, not documented; the developer who wrote this left years ago.
- Lacking salary compared internationally.
- In the past 7 years, the main App made questionable progress with a team that is definitely super-scaled: loads of people, loads of code, who do busy work with little visibility in the final product.
- More diverse hires.
- Clear path to promotion.
- Address tech debt (yes, you have to allocate a significant amount of time to do so).
- Hire less but hire better.
- Focus more on quality.
- Invest into a good working culture.

Agoda Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Casual, but I feel like it was a waste of my time. I waited online for the interview and answered all the questions correctly. I explained my current employment situation. I felt it was frowned upon because of the industry.
Back End Developer
I had to wait for 2-3 months to get an interview. The good thing is they were pretty quick when it came to emailing the results. I had a chance to do an online interview, a behavioral interview, and a technical interview, which I failed.
Software Engineer
During an interview, I encountered a Leetcode problem that heavily emphasized recursion. Thankfully, the interviewee I interacted with was exceptionally friendly and kind, which made the experience more enjoyable and less stressful.
