Ancient codebase, uncooperative people
Ancient codebase, uncooperative people
Pay is good if you join laterally.
I had a terrible time at Pine Labs. The code base is ancient. There are functions which have more than 10000 lines in them. There is no log access to debug, CI / CD is non existent. On top of that people are in general rude and unhelpful. People are given PIP ratings and are silently laid off to avoid giving severances.
Get the taste of ground reality before expecting spectacular things from the team.
The eco system isn't conducive for developers to try out things, debug fast and in general do good things.
Just having high expectations doesn't help.
You need to empower them to achieve those.
