Pros

Nope nothing I can think of.

Cons

Really bizarre company to work for, egos everywhere and if you dare to disagree with the chosen few then you will be hounded until you either resign or get sacked. Same as all the other reviews this is a playground reminiscent of mean girls and you're either in or out regardless of performance. The pay is judged on how mgmt are feeling that day and expect to be paid below market average.

Pros

- Good benefits - Free Beer - Free lunch every quarter - Summer and Christmas parties - Work from home on Wednesdays

Cons

- Company new policy for agile is a mess; - Company prefer to listen to few people about the issue in instead of the entire community of developers; - Integration between teams/tribes is only to find issues and never to solve a problem; (Basically, any issue outside the "tribe", is an escuse to say that is not your problem); - Line Managers has tied hands to do changes because of the "tribes", which leads to everybody having at least 2 direct managers. - If you are not in a good "tribe", forget about getting a promotion. - Very obscure ways to select devs that exceeded the expectations. Not a single word about how they were selected is explained. - Apparently, only the top 1% of the devs (which would mean around 3-5 people) received a bonus in shares. Again, no public announcement was made about it. - No space to get creative. No time for that, your sprint is your live and you need to finish it. - Either de CEO is too busy to worry about the Engineering or he don't care. Not a single word about the issues came from him.
