Pros

The work environment was positive, and the people in the project were collaborative and supportive. Good atmosphere overall.

Cons

There was a serious lack of technical understanding from management, and no clear process to evaluate developers’ skills. Pressure and responsibility were often thrown entirely on the developers, with little guidance or support.

Pros

I gained experience on topics I never thought would have worked with

Cons

I don't even have 6 months here and I want to quit. My client (GCS Systems) is a project recently owned by a local national bank, due to this they're in a process of standardization and documentation. I initially liked that, as in my last job having everything well documented helped to get most of my tasks done with little to no confusion. The thing is that they have these as low priority and are focusing on adding things that don't bring anything new to the product, and they want everything done yesterday. They even fail to delegate tasks to the respective department; I have a specific task that is not working as expected only in a single environment (in every other one works perfectly fine) and they want me to find a more performant solution (which I could get done with proper time), but the thing is that the code performance is not the main issue, instead the problem lies in their database process; but they don't want to do anything about it. I have to spend extra hours several days to make things work in this job
