Purpose, autonomy & mastery
Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
August 25, 2015
Pros: Transformative projects with customers who matter.
A-grade employees, driven towards material impact.
A very high degree of autonomy awarded to staff.
Cons: Resourcing - there are more opportunities than staff. Sometimes this means staff get stuck with one customer; sometimes it means that ownership can be lacking as staff move through a customer to fight a fire rather than truly fix an issue in a sustainable way.
Workforce is not especially diverse, despite everyone's efforts to address this.
Being in a branch office, it is sometimes hard to divine strategic and tactical vision. Conversely, we are given wide latitude to chart our own destiny.
