Fast Code, Ugly Codebase
Fast Code, Ugly Codebase
Good money, lots of perks, and a sign-up bonus.
Get to work in a high-pressure environment, writing production-level code at a fast pace.
Ugly code base. The tech stack isn't something you can really apply externally. Horrible work-life balance (on-call) and demanding executives leaving very little breathing room. You always get the feeling that you're another dispensable number, and upper management can cut you and your team at their whim if you don't deliver.
Focus more on quality than speed. Improve on culture and fostering the people than on revenue.
