Good Company but Mixed Experiences
Pros
Overall, I feel the company is putting in the necessary hard work to recreate itself in a cloud world. Literally every colleague I've met has been extremely committed to their work, so I have faith this company will execute its plans successfully on a macro level.
Cons
Since joining, I noticed there is a rampant problem with people between sites and organizational levels making poor or expensive decisions and ignoring the consequences because they can toss them over the fence for someone else to deal with. It reminds me of an episode of King of the Hill when Kahn's father demanded Kahn use drag-and-drop to turn an analog watch into an MP3 player. Despite the great relationships I've developed here, it constantly feels like somebody external to our team is chucking immediate requirements over the fence without our approval, which is ironically the least Agile thing imaginable. In my experience, this tends to lead to conflict, long hours, burnout, and eventual turnover.
