Great Culture, Dev Nightmare
Great Culture, Dev Nightmare
The people are great and welcoming. Benefits and comp are pretty solid as well, and being able to work remotely full time is a great perk. Work-life balance is also insanely good, with unlimited PTO as soon as you are a mid-level engineer.
Which, for a bigger company, is a huge perk.
Their core codebase is a nightmare to develop on. Thirty minutes of build time to just fail out due to a minor build issue. And just because tests pass locally doesn't mean they will pass in the remote build, and you won't find out for four hours if you are lucky.
This wouldn't be the worst if it was well-documented, but everything is passed on via tribal knowledge. So, if you are on a small team with maybe one engineer with tenure, pray they know what they are doing.
