Origami Risk reviews

Some of the biggest cons I see are: -outdated approach to delivering software projects (waterfall) that oftentimes results in missed timelines and customer concessions. The amount of time I spend looking at a project plan to update dates (that inevitably get moved every week) is insane. And then I have to bother my team members throughout the week to do the same. It’s so so so so inefficient. It’s easily my absolute least favorite and most annoying thing about my job. PLEASE make it stop. -having under-qualified Origami colleagues on projects that make work more difficult than it needs to be and also (more oftentimes than not) having under-qualified offshore resources on your project that make work waaayyy more difficult and frustrating than it needs to be. A lot of our concessions could be avoided in my opinion if we staffed projects properly with skilled people. -the software looks “old”/ dated but I hear that’s something the company will be investing in to improve - Racial/ethnic diversity in management and leadership. The only real “diversity” in management or leadership is white women. -You can oftentimes tell who has been at Origami for 4+ years based on how they respond to new ideas or change…. Not ALWAYS… but oftentimes you can.

Getting shafted by management when processes or systems go wrong just because "this is how things were done" or because "this system/process was purchased with too much money so we have to just deal with it and work our way around it." Sticking with poor money planned processes is your best answer? Makes sense.
