Interesting Field, Poor Engineering
Software Engineer • Current Employee
September 26, 2022
Pros: The business operates in an interesting field.
Cons: The level of engineering quality at the company is subpar, but most management simply ignore the issue and focus on drawing up their grandiose business plan. Essentially, no one knows engineering, and everyone blames engineers when things go wrong.
Also, a lot of people appear to be very nice but are aggressive and emotional when you work with them. Even for a company of its small size, there are a ton of tribes that you have to steer clear of.
