Business Outlook

Pros

* Ownership * Access to infra

Cons

* Toxic Managers which wont let to change team by providing false negative feedback to other managers and this feedback is not shared with SDE * Promotions to SDE3 is not possible as there are 2 digits SDE2 in one team and they don't offer projects with good scope to create large impact like SDE3 * No hike from last 2 years * Internal build tools are pathetic and take a lot of time to build, even a small change take 5 to 10 mins to build. Apps don't run on Mac, need to run them on remote machines and cannot debug in IDE. Development of simple API takes days. This impacts work life balance a lot * Internal common applications have bad documentation and almost no support
