Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting product. Nice co workers. Good pay.

Cons

As the company and tech stack has grown we spend more and more time in process issues (setup tasks, tooling, broken build, trying to understand old undocumented code, secret knowledge) and less just building new features. Leadership reneged on commitment to allow remote work. Shows a lack of respect, lack of empathy, lack of integrity.
