Pros
For a while it was great, we were allowed to make our own decisions around how we made software and we had great results. We were a high performing team that enjoyed our work. Unfortunately this is no longer the case.
Cons
In the last 4 months or so this place has turned into a draconian micromanagement pit that is sure to produce problems. VP’s and Directors telling high performing teams that they must use the same tools as teams that haven’t been able to rebuild their platform even given 3 years to do so. These guys shoved a 15 year old monolith into a bastardized version of kubernetes with “lanes” which just means they added state to what is meant to be a stateless environment. And those are the guys making decisions in engineering?? Let’s just all be handcuffed to this atrocity I guess.
