Low salary, Too much work, but enjoyable - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Plus65 Interactive

High Earning Potential: Base salaries and total compensation packages (including bonuses and stock options) are generally well above average, especially as you advance to senior roles. Flexibility & Remote Work: Many roles offer hybrid or fully remote options, allowing you to work from almost anywhere with a solid internet connection. Creative Problem Solving: It is an intellectually stimulating career where you design and build tangible applications that millions of users can interact with

On-Call Burnout: For systems that require 24/7 uptime, engineers are often placed on rotating on-call schedules, meaning you may have to fix bugs in the middle of the night

- Great talented people to work with - You may use which ever technology you like to complete your project - Because the company is small, it's easier to implement changes/standards - Company is growing, you might really be apart of something big if you can swallow the cons

- Work/life balance is next to none, you are on standby 24/7. Rejoice if you leave the office on time - Projects that you do adds nothing to your portfolio, you would not want to show them anyway because... - The timeline is usually so short. Everything is churned out quickly and with minimal thought about UX/UI/maintenance/scalability. Management will say it's up to you to implement good coding standards/good designs, which you can, if you forgo your sleep. As the result, work published is usually of questionable quality - "Agile" is being thrown around as though it's being used. They might say they're using Kanban, but there's no Kanban board, no WIP limit - High turnover rate. Employees there are generally leave after 1 year plus, hitting 2 years and above is rare
