It's fun if you make it fun
It's fun if you make it fun
- Challenging problems (depending on which part you work on)
- Fun environment
- A lot of "not invented here" -- if you can play it right, you can build quite an engineering portfolio for yourself
- If you are an adrenaline junkie, you will enjoy the rush of having to fix a broken website in real-time.
- Management seems to recognize some failures and is remedying them, slowly but surely.
- Boring work (if you don't work in a good group).
- Too much decentralization -- lots of inter-group bickering that wouldn't happen at other shops.
- Too much "not invented here."
It may be time to decide that the "service owner model" is no longer viable, and begin centralizing.
