CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote flexibility, some unique and truly wonderful people, CI/CD space is interesting and challenging, shipping Clojure code to production systems, mid-level management has your back.

Cons

Dysfunctional leadership, no macro level product direction, hyper competitive space with no real organization strategy (beyond setting aggressive revenue targets), teams are hamstrung by CYA bureaucratic red tape and politics, technical debt never is allowed to be addressed, business model is entirely contingent on COGS.

I guess they mean well.

Cons

The tech culture lacks any and all empathy for the candidate, and it's really embarrassing. I stopped referring people here because the hiring process reflects poorly on me.
