Vantaggi
Met some interesting people, had some interesting conversations.
Svantaggi
Was constantly hearing bad stories about upper management. I only experienced
the CEO expressing minor annoyance and paranoia a couple of times.
My line manager always seemed to be treading water, fixated on dev-ops
ceremonies, and didn't respect the opinions of his peers.
The guy who was the "expert" for my field practised management by spreadsheet
and was completely out of his depth, always obsessing about his approach to the
work and inflicting his opinion on everyone else.
Spent too much time having to plan for travel or hear about everyone's travel
plans.
Wasted so much time in the company's ongoing recruitment drive which pushes most
of the work of interviewing and filtering candidates onto regular employees.
