Good work at a strong company
Good work at a strong company
Interesting technical work at a healthy, relevant company in the middle of the Internet. Management seems to be pointed in the right direction. Flexible work hours, time off, and telecommute options are available.
Lots of legacy code, challenging to learn as documentation is often poor. Change comes slow relative to a smaller company, as there is a fear something will break.
Bite the bullet and let some of these old systems go.
