Good Pay, High Stress
Good Pay, High Stress
The biggest pro is they pay well for starters.
So many cons, I can’t describe the mental stress they put on engineers. The management is confusing engineers in terms of expectations for the role. Higher management is also not aware of anything going on within the team; they have their own things to work on, but they should interact with engineers once in a while to get engineers’ input, rather than throwing random questions daily that are anonymous in concept. Managers know who responded what and they keep that in mind.
Try to get justification for or go over manager-level decisions before proceeding with whatever the manager says.
