Pros
* Enables developers to produce quality code by prioritizing correctness and stability above all else. * Well documented and established development processes across the company. * Cultivates a culture of engineers who care about doing the right thing. * Lots of hard problems to solve and people who want to help you solve them.
Cons
* Qumulo C is a burden and technical debt blight upon the company. It dramatically increases code obfuscation, breaks typical compiling and linting tools, and incurs an enormous onboarding cost in order to provide features which come for free in C++ or almost any other OOP compiled language. * Process can get in the way. Working with version control is painful at times. Development is done in patch stacks on top of Mercurial with a single massive, fragile monorepo automation arm. * Essentially no documentation for most systems in code or in confluence. Most learning is done by word of mouth or out of date video recordings of word of mouth. * Product vision is lacking. The company's name invokes clouds themselves but the cloud offering is nascent and underperforming due to inefficient use of existing cloud storage data redundancy.
