Pros
- Decent comp - Higher level staff can WFH but only 3 out of 5 days.
Cons
- No hope of IPO and liquidity events are rare. - Talent is leaving but slowly due to crummy job market - Refusal to address underlying infrastructure issues in favor of new features that release to mixed customer reception. - Company tracks number of PRs opened, closed, merged as a performance metric, promotions have already been given based on these metrics. - Directionless AI mandates. Every engineer meeting is how LLMs will replace us but then no official guidance and what we're supposed to do and what processes require LLMs in a mandatory sense. - Increasing pressure on performance with associated metrics now being tracked but the metrics are useless. - C Suite and Board of Directors heavy LLM boosters with ties to other LLM companies - Official communications stating LLMs will take over the entire software lifecycle and error handling recovery aspects of the job. Which seems dangerous given the sensitivity of data we handle.
