The company is doing interesting work building on an already successful platform and modernizing at a good pace.

Everyone is very friendly even cross-department and they’re mindful of inclusivity and equality.

There’s more work than there are people to do it. Architectural principles seem to have been neglected for some time, though they’re now working to improve the situation.

Most training and workshops are hoarded for a once yearly internal conference. They’ve also completely changed the promotion evaluation process so growth opportunities seem less attainable and personal priorities toward them unclear.

Hire faster. Don’t freeze hiring. Allow hiring margin around projected attrition. Hire more SDE1s and SDE2s and enable their growth. Make promotions easier than quitting & taking the same better role elsewhere.
