Process freedom, but also complexity
Process freedom, but also complexity
For a company of this size, with so many engineers, we are given a great amount of freedom in our tools and processes. I'm also fortunate to have a manager with a great deal of experience. Although he expects high performance from us, he is also compassionate and understanding.
With the great level of freedom comes a great deal of complexity. The tools and processes help with managing the complexity, but only so much of it can be hidden. Perhaps this is how it is at all big tech FAANG companies. I wouldn't know since this is my first. I have only worked at smaller companies before this position.
