Domino's reviews

Not really known for paying all that well. Still a pretty dated company in terms of a dress code and structure. Vast amounts of middle and senior management. Seems very political, often times you see groups of people hiring in from the same companies. These cons relate only to my work environment in IT. You won't see many ex-Googlers here. You can work with a team that has their act together, but talented software engineers end up being moved around between projects. Eventually, the fickle finger of fate will place you with a project lead that is far from being the best. Go back to the reviews from 2012 to current. The endemic issues from the 2012-2014 period that caused a lot of people to leave have subsided, they were there when I left in 2018. Awful tech debt you get to work around means you won't get to do your very best here. Often times, barely working. Complete it in the sprint, ship it and hope it stays together. If someone makes upstream changes to APIs or data objects, brace for impact. Very poor communication, very chaotic development cycles. Used to perusing GitHub or using similar tools for code examples, research or discussion? Forget that, InfoSec considers many of those sites hostile, There is no appeal to that process. My manager suggested do that kind of research from home on my own time.

I have never worked at a place that was as political and layered with middle management or people aspiring and willing to do anything to get to middle management. If you play the game, you'll be promoted to some form of manager and they'll siphon off someone else's workers for you to manage. No upward mobility unless you show an aptitude for continually asking for status updates, taking credit for work that may or may not be your own, and frequently using the word "team" when you really mean "the people I hope to manage someday". Company likes to promote itself as a technology company that just happens to sell pizza. But once you get here you realize the technology looks like it was designed by a pizza joint. Departments go off and do crazy things and tell no one. People find out when things quit working. Pay and benefits suck, life-work balance is bad and justified by something called "handling the rush".
