4.0
Pros
  • Nice pay
  • Good benefits
  • Smart coworkers
Cons
  • A lot of legacy code and systems, decades worth of it, that no one really understands and that has no documentation.
  • Rounds of layoffs in the last years have impacted morale and worsened work-life balance.
  • It often feels there is no real upper and middle management direction, and thus teams are often dealing with unrealistic and changing timelines and projects that don't really align with what our customers want, nor what the product needs.
