Vantaggi
- Good WLB - Interesting and unique projects you won't be able to see elsewhere. - C-Level Execs seem to be aware of the problems and trying to fix them. Just not sure how well equipped they are to fix it. And it feels really slow.
Svantaggi
- Most of the exciting technology innovation happened from the early 80s to early 2000s. - Many middle managers are detached from the reality of the competitive landscape of the tech scene - both in the technology stacks and development methods. (Why are people talking about agile in the company are people who have the least idea abut agile?) - Product Management falls into 3 categories - 1) barely knows their own customers and their work, 2) thinks like product managers from the 80s, or 3) has a rest and vest mentality. There are few who are smart but they seem unmotivated because of the organizational forces outside of their control. - Bloated HR with lots of people getting paid too much but adds negative value (haven't updated tech pay band in 15 years, does a horrible job on-boarding people to the point
