Lots of autonomy
• A lot of room to decide what is important to work on • Great work/life balance • Opportunities for challenging problems • Late growth stage so it feels very mature • Code and process are documented extremely well
- Because of the autonomy we are given, coordinating large changes can be a bit disorganized.
- History and size make it hard to grasp the entire system and identify key places to change and who owns each piece.
- Keep developer autonomy, which is one of the reasons people are happy to work here.
- Cross-product ownership is hard, but necessary to enforce and put attention towards.
