Pros

There used to be many. Very very few now. Very few. Fuel card maybe?

Cons

Lack of commercial leadership, and strategic direction, more interested in looking after the ‘old guard’ who couldn’t lead anywhere else so self appoint their own roles and titles. No progression and constant blame game culture. If you ever hear someone say they’re a software company, it’s unlikely intended to be a joke but it sure is one.

It's great to hear about your positive experience collaborating with colleagues globally and embracing remote work. We truly value the rich tapestry of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives each team member brings by embracing opportunities for the giving and receiving of feedback through town halls, skip level meetings and pulse surveys. Fostering employee engagement, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our values and by nurturing the best HR practices we continue to make strong headways in increasing the diversity of our workforce. This has enabled us to demonstrate steady organic growth over past years, with the exception of the pandemic era of 2020. This resilience speaks to our strong financial and business fundamentals, a forward-looking strategy and a relentless dedication of our highly engaged workforce. Our people’s health and well-being remain our top priority.

Pros

It's a quite good atmosphere between *engineers*. There is a sense of community here where you feel motived to share your ideas, and you are likely to get constructive feedback from your peers. The direct manager is someone you can count on and I have also heard this from people working on different teams. From my experience, competition doesn't exist among devs – no one is trying to outsmart you, compared to what we might find out there.

Cons

The quality of your work is measured by metrics like "commits per day", "time to merge", "story points committed vs delivered" and so on. At first, they said that having those metrics was just to get a sense that we are on "the right track" in terms of planning and commitment. Nowadays, these metrics are linked to your compensation and, from time to time, they'll inspect and verify your numbers, which you have to manually insert into the software they use, on a weekly basis. The Product team is heavily focused on story point estimates, to the point you feel you're being micro-managed – not by your manager, but by the Product team themselves. There's a lack of trust between Product and Engineers, but it might be mutual now as all the features we've been working on during the last several months seem to generate no meaningful impact on users. Maybe that's the reason we have such a good atmosphere between engineers – we're all trying to survive.
