Pros

People, passion, dedication, pride. People here are very nice and good to work with, alot of passion and dedication to delivering quality product

Cons

Totally driven to deliver at any cost. No thought into process, technical debt, or cost in employee morale, which is generally low in IT. Culture of resistance to change and deep seated political conflicts of interests. Poor communication between business silos, no clear delineation of product, no understanding of process improvement, and no clear, consolidated leadership direction down the hierarchy. Everybody has a different message and leaders communication is uncoordinated which feeds the rumor mill constantly

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
