      Easy and boring

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work was doable without serious issues. Never had to work overtime or felt pressure to do so. Management was accommodating about shifting work hours around slightly when deadlines allowed for it. People were cooperative instead of competitive. Company seemed stable. Development practices seemed to be steadily improving. A few nice policies, like subscriptions to PluralSight so that we could upskill on the job between regular work. Hybrid work schedule.

      Cons

      Poor project planning and tight deadlines. Opaque leadership (information withholding, dropping hotfix dates with very little heads up). Devs were generally brought into the loop way too late. Due to all this (among other things), projects wouldn't come out ideal at times, and collective stress levels could spike. Legacy codebase and tech stack, boring domain, boilerplate heavy codebase, highly questionable architecture, time-consuming test procedures, slow build times, lots of major inconveniences, all of which made it hard to stay engaged some days. Moderate amounts of bureaucracy made getting certain tasks done difficult, especially for projects. "Ask for permission" culture, instead of "ask for forgiveness" culture. Outdated style of measuring performance (Jira ticket quotas, defect count) which could be gamed. No reward for doing thorough code reviews or peer dev testing. Low culture of engineering excellence overall, Hard to find meaningful mentorship. Company was at an awkward size, making career growth opportunities very limited. Pay and benefits package was mediocre at best.

      Pros

      People are friendly, company is ethical / moral, fast-paced environment

      Cons

      Company seems hesitant to spend money on employees. Can almost be too fast-paced sometimes, even when it doesn't have to be.
