Pros

Nice people, Cloud Technologies - Azure, Good Compensation, Most did their all to please business customers and do good work.

Cons

Data Strategies team was waterfall, while Application Development teams were SAFe Agile. Certain managers unethically took credit for others work. Most Managers were good people. No promotion path other than management for ICs. Need more than 3 levels for ICs. System quality was improving but still more major incidents than experienced at other companies.

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
