Freedom, Talent, But Lacking Direction
Software Engineer • Former Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
August 18, 2023
Pros: - Great freedom on what to work on.
- Lots of talented colleagues.
- Many perks and good pay.
- Relaxed work environment (for most teams at least).
Cons: At least in my org, I felt like there was a lack of direction coming from directors/VPs. This meant we had extreme freedom on what to do, but it also meant quite a few useless projects that ended up not having wider company impact.
