Pros

-Great People -Fun environment - excellent opportunity to learn

Cons

Poor management decisions are never subject to any level of accountability. New executive leadership is very arrogant and seems uninterested and distrustful of the department as a whole. Architecture design is poor and leads to constant "emergencies." There is no thought given to how development and operations work together. priority is always given to new features, which results in mountains of technical debt. The company is constantly reminding employees that they Have a few hundred million in liquid assets, but they never seem to spend it on improving what they actually deliver, or in IT's case, how they deliver it.

Pros

The compensation and flexibility (fully remote) were great!

Cons

The expectations were incredibly inconsistent. Communication from leadership was unclear and downright cruel at times. Hands-off approach when help or guidance was needed, micromanaging when being tasked with an assignment we should independently handle.

Project Management Institute Response
