It is a really strong culture, it is just a terrible one. Get it done or else, don’t worry about how you or your employees are treated, and a very unstable collection of technologies to go along with that. It feels like swimming against the current all the time.
If a team does not commit to an unachievable date, the work gets shipped to a contractor team or India.
It feels like there is no solid roadmap and architecture. It is based on whatever is the newest and shiniest that day with no real plan to integrate these things into a very big tech stack. Seems a little startupy in the negative way where it is more important to say you are using the latest tools without actually taking the time to implement them correctly and reap the benefits.
I interact with several of the folks in Pune and didn’t understand all the 5 star reviews as they are in the same boat if long hours and a not nice environment. Then I also saw the review about being forced to post 5 stars and thought that was so silly. May be a grain of salt there, but I can certainly see that happening as they all came in one wave over a couple months and I wouldn’t put it past Frontdoor to ask for that.
