A clueless business

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Pay is decent 2. Benefits are good

Cons

1. Mediocre engineering teams and product team is worse. 2. Leadership doesn't understand tech, or building good foundations take time. 3. The new USM licensing model that the company bet on is a disaster. 4. Company is offshoring, so getting fired is a matter of when. 5. Growth is limited to people who are in good terms with specific individuals.
