Senior Software Engineer in Customer Web Portal
Senior Software Engineer in Customer Web Portal
Interesting technical challenges, opportunities to work in different teams and locations, great benefits, and smart people. It can be thrilling to work on technology used by so many businesses, especially large companies. The work environment is very supportive and inclusive.
The development/QA environment for the customer portal can be frustrating to work because of issues in shared databases and systems. Plans to streamline and modernize the web app development/dev ops environment are laudable, yet slow-going. There is a lot of tech debt, including applications with poor documentation and without unit tests. Career advancement for software engineers is hard to predict or understand. There are also not enough senior front-end developers, so the user interfaces are often created by folks without enough expertise to do it well. In my opinion, technical interviews are not well organized.
I would suggest that management re-evaluate the company's engineering human resources.
They should check on the recruitment process, the interview process, and ensure that there are opportunities for career advancement.
