- Dedicated pool of engineers (great capital there) - Committed product owners

Cons

- Exec sponsors need to let their talented staff do their jobs! - There's a definite silo culture, departments do not talk - The organisation favours people that say yes who don't speak up - The PeopleOps a.k.a. HR does what its told and has little if any objectivity - Witnessed repeated firsthand bullying within the organisation - There's many single points of failure - Lack of integrity with the SLT - Senior managers are afraid to speak up and basically tow the line because there afraid of losing their jobs, ad nauseam - Getting team training and investing in new tools was continually pushed back - Very unclear direction from business and engineering leaders CIO/CTA - Top heavy management style - Hi churn rates of attrition

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
