Good company in struggle
Good company in struggle
The position is 100% remote. There are good colleagues. There are many learning chances. Sprint planning is well organized. The engineers are learning and catching up with software development standards.
I experienced an unexpected layoff with no transparency.
The team is short of quality assurance and dev ops, so the engineer needs to do a lot of errands other than focusing on business logic.
Be transparent about decisions.
