I've sold my soul to the devil for 50$

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good lunch, good pay, good work life balance.

Cons

Technology stack is highly outdated, engineering level is very low. Highly unqualified people, that got promoted during hyper growth period making crazy architectural decisions. Every second principal engineer in the company is a joke and insult to the engineering community. C level management has no idea what to do next. A lot of politics for self promotion. Feels like it's all about politics and talking that actually making a product.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great choice of food Good choice of coffee Possibility to work a few hours per day and still meet or exceed expectations.Nice place to start your career (in the wrong way)

Cons

mediocre middle management. Huge technical debt and still increasing steadily as this is not a tech company. This makes being able to work productively very hard and often impossible. Over Engineered and fragmented infrastructure. Recruiters have sick incentives. No sense of ownership/accountability.
