Good intentions, but needs more direction

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance is good here. Everyone is lax about time off and hours. Perks are among the better in the region. Training program is very effective. Well run company all-hands meetings. There are a lot of documented company values, so you can find a few to identify with. Upper management realize change is needed, both in paying down technical debt and also improving employee satisfaction.

Cons

It is often hard to follow the connection between engineering and what the company is doing, particularly recently as there has been a lot of turn-over. Most of software components are custom, operate on custom runtimes, and written in Scala. This means little opportunity to bring existing experience with you, and a frustrating learning curve, as internal tools are often complicated. Even if there are some very talented staff here, there are many inexperienced or old guard who control or create processes. This surfaces as rules and tools that feel dated vs other tech companies. There is a focus and perception that engineering is done one-way and in one place, but things are done many ways in many places.
