Svantaggi
- no culture to speak of (as a remote worker of 3+ years, i've only met my coworkers once in person, and we do not have any non business related exchanges.)
- Once fantastic bonus program has ceased to exist after acquisition by acuity
- lots of unadressed technical debt.
- flagship software looks like it was written in 2002.
- company is very focused on products that do not generate revenue
- PM are nowhere to be found, leading to engineers who aren't subject matter experts making odd product choices. I have never met my current PM.
- Offshoring engineering jobs to seems to be the current paradigm
- teams are isolated from each other and often duplicate efforts despite working in a monolithic codebase. for instance, two different teams recently both wrote complete stacks for the same display hardware with zero collaboration.
- location based pay is unfair. same pay for same job should be the norm.
- after being acquired, upcoming changes in HR policy are not communicated, It seems like benefits are going to get worse in the coming months but there is no way to know.
