Challenging work with no place for personal life
Challenging work with no place for personal life
Smart colleagues
Interesting challenges
- Zero work-life balance.
- No help from peers.
- Difficult onboarding.
- You will feel like an outsider until you spend at least two years in an established org.
- If you're not familiar with the team's tech stack, be ready to sacrifice weekends.
Management has as aggressive goals as dev. They can do very little to help out devs. I believe management does their best in establishing orgs, but this is a delivery-focused org. Not for everyone.
