  • Terrible "engineering culture".
  • Terrible documentation (non-existent).
  • The work you do will be for internal tools.
  • They don't know how to use Agile.
  • Quantity is preferred over quality.
  • The architecture and code are of terrible quality. A common practice among developers is to copy and paste existing code, further increasing the low quality.
  • Code reviews are a joke (they don't exist).
  • There are people without technical knowledge in positions that require making technical decisions.
  • Training (onboarding) is non-existent; you are expected to learn everything yourself, including internal processes.
  • The technical knowledge of Senior/Staff Software Engineers is poor, despite having numerous years within the company. Highly qualified talent is scarce here.
  • In summary, just another corporate company.
Advice to Management

Trabajen más en evaluar a las personas que tienen puestos de liderazgo. Son ellas las que muchas veces no dejan crecer al equipo y/o son las principales causantes de crear malos ambientes de trabajo. Den planes de carrera y de crecimiento con un real beneficio para el empleado (incremento de sueldo atractivo).
