Fun tech-focused health company - Recensione dipendente - Senior Software Engineer presso LifeOmic

This was my favorite tech job. My manager and coworkers were great! I loved that I got to do so many fun tasks: I got to contribute in UI/UX meetings, troubleshoot customer issues, and build a React app to help with the troubleshooting process.

Because I wasn't a senior developer, I couldn't continue working remotely. I had to move states if I wanted to continue working as a software engineer.

Talented team members who care about what they do

Team direction and product vision were largely unfocused. Too much energy was spent on technologies and direction that had no business viability. Engineering suffered from lack of product leadership. The CEO would share a vision and engineering with run with it unvetted. What was built was built well, with security and testing in mind, but there was so much waste in the process. People in VP/director level positions didn't attempt to deliver products to earn customers and build the business in a sustainable way. Instead the engineering mindset was to focus on test coverage and execution of the grand vision. There was a huge gap between product and engineering and so much work (months, or even years of time for 3-20 engineers on 6-figure+ salaries) was thrown out. There was little-to-no emphasis on finding product market fit and gaining paying customers.
