Great Company - Old is Gold
Great Company - Old is Gold
-
Learn from the place where all engineering processes have actually come up - the rest of the world actually simply follows the practices from Microsoft through its ex-employees.
-
The work culture is not very high pressure for most of the company.
-
Good benefits, individual offices, etc.
- Cannot be fast-paced. There is a lot of inherent overhead, and the company is trying to be fast-paced but is struggling.
- Some places in the company try to mimic Agile in unwanted ways, trying to release large client software at an unnecessarily faster cadence.
- Be prepared for organic growth.
Be true to the customers and don't try to make money more than what the software is worth.
