Pros

Get to learn some cool technologies

Cons

All the recent reviews on Glassdoor are true. Frontdoor’s IT company culture is terrible. If you enjoy burnout and being pushed on projects with unrealistic deadlines than this is the place for you. Work comes in cycles: crazy with management breathing down your neck till people leave, then downtime where there isn’t enough work because they are afraid of people leaving. The company was trying to hire 100 developers but 25 immediately left, I don’t think they ever broke even. HR exit interviews clearly aren’t doing anything. Would like to reiterate that I would not recommend to a friend.

Pros

Good benefits Managers who are nice Company is doing well financially Coworkers are capable and generally very nice to work with

Cons

The development process is pretty similar to the one I used in my last job in 2012--nowhere close to CICD. Testing is done by QA, infra is owned by the platform team, BE is owned by BE team, FE is owned by FE team. There is a lot of bureaucracy and throwing things over the wall. Service architecture contains many layers of services. Most products lack automated tests and canaries. Production incident troubleshooting seems to involve casts of dozens. There are yearly layoffs and fairly frequent restructures. Benefits have been cut. I know that's very common these days in a tough job market, but the company has been posting record profits. There is a technical ladder, but once you advance beyond Sr Dev, there is little chance to code or be involved in day to day work.
