Exciting Projects, Team Needs Education
Exciting Projects, Team Needs Education
Exciting work on ground-breaking projects.
Great people and team members.
Opportunity to lead front-end development efforts on the marketing and brand side.
Nice position to leverage technical expertise on high-profile projects.
Not a lot of understanding of technical processes on the marketing/brand side, which created situations where constant education of the team was fundamental to moving development projects along. Pay is on the lower side. Production and DevOps needed much improvement. Communication with the core development team was non-existent.
Hopefully, in the two years since I was employed with NYT, the marketing team has grown in digital and technology implementation and process knowledge, and better production and development workflows are in place.
