Pros

Good colleagues, modern .Net core & micro service architecture, free lunch.

Cons

The churn is real. Lots of experienced engineers are leaving or have recently left.

Progression is slow and cumbersome, with a four-month-long review process that is calibrated across the company to produce a bell curve. In other words, it's enforced mediocrity.

Technical decision-making is chaotic.

RTO of three days per week is rigidly enforced, and the mass exoduses are partially the result.

Advice to Management

I only say this because it needs to be taken into account and fixed, or these issues will ruin the business. I have stock; I don’t want Checkout to fail just to improve.
