Opportunity to earn okay money with a good bonus if you get promoted a few times.

Lots of good engineers.

Some of the managers are technical.

Good opportunity for early careers.

Used to be amazing. Really felt like innovation was encouraged.

Engineering was fun. It isn't as good now.

A lot of managers aren't that technical anymore. Senior managers aren't really listening to engineers and are more interested in process than building cool stuff.

Product doesn't know what they want to build.

Far too much time is wasted on dev ops tasks and pipelines.

Too much focus is placed on filling teams with junior members of staff. It's great for new starters but pretty rubbish for more experienced engineers.

Tribes make tech ownership difficult.

Focus on what's broken. Listening to your engineers is more important than ticking boxes for the US.
