Pros

Great place to learn and grow. Endless problems to solve. Solid pay with consistent raises and bonuses. Truly full-stack web development, plus we are starting to handle more of our own deployments (as every engineer should). Leaders give decent recognition. Surrounded by many different technologies. Hybrid Work.

Cons
  • Culture/activities do not seem like a company priority.
  • Managers are unaware of our own software development process, and how much it has changed since they were developers. There is more work on Dev Teams than ever.
  • Projects often do not see the light of day or do not get enabled.
  • Directions change like the wind.
Advice to Management

Good managers are starting to issue a month, and actually trying to get an issue to production on their own. This is the only way to see how painful it can be sometimes, to meet branch cut deadlines, infinite MR approvals, communicating with QA, working with Deployment Engineers, etc.

Complexity has increased over the years as more technologies emerge and are "required" to use by said managers.
