Good Culture, Bad Pay
Good Culture, Bad Pay
Depending on the team, it can be low stress with good work-life balance. Flex time and working from home are nice benefits.
Generally a pretty good culture. People try to help each other, and there isn't much backstabbing.
- Depending on the area, things are in flux and management priorities will be constantly changing.
- The quality of engineers is questionable in general. No technical questions are asked during interviews, so you can get hired without really knowing how to code.
- Flat or pathetic increases in salary.
- Not much room for advancement since everyone has 20 and 30 years of seniority.
Have better standards for your engineers. You'll only lose money by cheaping out on them. Try to encourage merit over simple seniority. Just because someone has worked there for 10-15 years doesn't mean you should stop paying attention to their performance.
