No career progression if your work is not classified as "high impact." Meaning people with good connections will work on new and fancy projects, and the rest will be left with all the maintenance work on legacy systems.
Lack of documentation practices. Two-year-old Slack threads and source code are the best documentation you can find.
Understaffed teams.
Constant addition of middle-management layers.
Most of the middle managers don't add much value.
All the decision-makers are in the US.
Almost no options other than ads-specific roles in Helsinki.
Think more about the roles of a team lead / manager. Limit the work in progress per team member. Sometimes less is more. Re-orgs and team changes have little affect if none of the underlying issues are addressed.
The process was long and sometimes stressful. I had to chase for updates, and there were five stages. The interviews weren’t particularly technical, but I was glad that I prepared for them. The most important thing seemed to be meshing with the team.
The interview process included: * Four technical rounds * One behavioral round * A final round with the VP It was a great experience with a good mix of questions on my experience, Unity, C#, tech stack, and coding challenges.
Recruiters actively seek to call you "Junior," even if your profile and experience indicate you are senior. When you try to clarify, they insist that they, despite lacking any technical background, view you as a junior, perhaps a mid-level developer
