Good work environment, bad technology and practices
Free breakfast, free fruit, Perkbox, and other bonuses like discounts on travel through Booking.com, and a good salary.
It's a good place to work if you're new to development and are looking for a company to invest in you while you grow.
Everyone is pleasant, and it's a very inclusive work environment.
Currently moving from an old and difficult platform (Java & jQuery) to a micro-service instead (JS & React).
It took literally over a month to get set up with the Java platform, as absolutely no one knew how to set up a new machine. I was hired as a front-end JS/React developer and placed straight into a team that works on the Java platform.
Now there's talk that the new platform (JS/React) is slower than the old Java platform. If the engineers can't fix it in the coming weeks, the project will be pulled, effectively wasting the last couple of years' work on it.
A better onboarding plan, other than seminars about the company and growth. Taking over a month to get set up is unacceptable. Also, if you hire someone to work on JS front end, place them in JS front end.
