Pros

+ There are some great people here that I enjoyed working with + It is a friendly environment + There is some flexibility of hours

Cons

1. Rather than managing the products, stakeholders and Business Cases, the Product Owners attempt to manage the developers and interfere with tech decisions. In many cases they just mandate tech decisions even when I tell them about the dangers of it. 2. It's Scrum in name only... the reality is that it's Waterfall; management refused to even read the Scrum guide when offered to them 3. Bad engineering and attitude is incentivized by management.. here's an example: - roll out as many features as you can without regards to quality.... -- poor performance or memory leaks? we'll throw more servers at it and restart them when something goes wrong -- are there bugs.. we'll put points on them so they look like Capex and we can say we delivered more value to the business

Pros

Excellent culture with genuinely supportive and collaborative teammates. Leadership has a clear vision for the future, and there is a strong focus on innovation and customer value. I've been impressed by the professionalism of the onboarding process, the willingness of people across the organization to help, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. It feels like a company that is investing in both its people and its products.

Cons

As with any organization going through transformation and growth, there are opportunities to continue streamlining processes and improving cross functional communication. The positive part is that the teams are receptive to feedback and committed to continuous improvement.
