Ownership But High-stress Politics
Ownership But High-stress Politics
Engineers have full ownership for their work. You scope it, build it, test it, support it. It feels like a start-up.
Laser-sharp focus on real-world problems.
Competitive - often there are multiple teams building similar things. This also leads to corporate politics sometimes taking precedence over engineering. Work-life balance is poor. It's stressful and highly demanding.
