Pros

[Arc XP] - Relaxed work environment - Flexible PTO (given 15 days but usually manager discretion) - Remote optional, up to manager discretion - Intelligent co-workers to learn from - Room to do more than what role entails

Cons

[Arc XP] - Roles/responsibilities not clearly defined - Sales/Leadership/Product/Engineering (in order of importance) aren't aligned on goals - Arc XP office and most of leadership being in Chicago means no teams have all teammates in the same region. So in-person gatherings requires flight(s), meaning they won't happen too often. - Leadership starting to enforce back-to-office after hiring remote-only for 2 years, which makes even less sense given the point directly above ^ - Arc XP is completely separate from The Washington Post, from technology used all the way up to C-level management, but since it's not its own company with its own funding, it feels like we are constantly strapped for funds (really when it comes to staffing -- sales/demo/support efforts get money thrown at it). - All developers have regular on-call & support responsibility for their application - All developers responsible for managing the deployments & infrastructure used by their application - Silo'd engineering teams leads to lack of knowledge/awareness of the whole, not real norms or guidance for documentation, style, data types, packages, infrastructure, etc. -- all the decision of each individual team.
