Pros

Some colleagues were good and collaborative

Cons

Appalling and dysfunctional culture in the CropScience - Location 360 engineering team. While a few individual engineers are capable, the team as a whole lacks perspective. Code quality is judged more by aesthetic adherence to obscure idioms than by functionality or resilience in production. There are no design reviews, PRs are accepted without proper and thorough tests. The result is a sluggish team with low standards—until a crisis erupts. This is not a high-tech environment. It's a fear-driven culture with weak leadership and no appreciation for diversity of thought or working style.
