An unfulfilling dev experience

Pros

- WFH Budget - Interesting job on the right team

Cons

The stack was outdated when the company was created and has no plans to upgrade or replace it. That's not the main issue when it comes to the stack, it's that most of the codebase is an undocumented mess with prime examples of code smell everywhere. Honestly, for anyone straight out of college looking here I would avoid it, you'll just learn a bunch of bad practices. Bureaucracy It takes so long to get approval for anything, everything has to go up for approval being passed around by managers for weeks or months to get no response on it. Work-Life Balance The company seems to take advantage of more agreeable people on teams, I routinely saw people working from 9am to 9pm. Remember "Unlimited Time Off" is a trick, hoping you don't take your holidays.

Pros

Work from home, okay pay. Talented colleagues.

Cons

Micromanagement by managers. Too many managers manage small groups of individuals. They are always pushing people to deliver non-sense tasks creating fake urgencies and when you deliver, that functionality doesn't get used for weeks. People will get drained and demotivated.
