Pros
  • The people are great.
  • The managers tend to be helpful and protective.
  • The work is generally interesting.
Cons
  • Weekly time sheets and work summaries.
  • Git is terribly implemented, mixing large file support and sparse checkouts. These are two newish features at this time and often break commits.
  • The deployment of JIRA is ponderous.
Advice to Management
  • lose the timesheets
  • I hate bullshitting my way through weekly reports to create the illusion of linear progress; that's just not how I work.

Some days nothing gets done, some days last 20 hours.
