Management and processes are garbage
Management and processes are garbage
The pay is good. People are nice, and it's usually very comfortable overall.
Performance metrics are stupid. They insist on measuring your sprint completion rate, and your job depends on it. The problem is, this is very inconsistent. Any dependency, problem, or situation that comes up will not be very relevant to adjust the metric. Ergo, carry-overs are unforgivable to management.
There are a ton of missing roles and departments. We have the budget for extravagant outings, weekly company-paid lunches, and $5k USD MacBooks, but not for an HR department. We also lack a lot of administrative staff, such as having a SCRUM master, enough DevOps, and actual resources that would improve our working experience. It's important to note all these missing roles end up being some random engineer's responsibility.
Get better metrics and respect people's lives outside the office. You cannot measure performance and skill through sprint completion rates. It's also foolish to do so when there is not even a Scrum Master to help estimate and provide detailed, broken-down tasks to the team. Also, CEO Tom Siebel is very close-minded and is against home office, ways of dressing, and other stuff.
