Vantaggi
You’ll get exposure to production issues almost daily — great if you enjoy firefighting.Some colleagues are genuinely skilled and supportive despite the chaos.
Svantaggi
Leadership is completely hierarchical and politics-driven. Promotions, recognition, and even project ownership depend on who you align with, not what you deliver. DevOps here is just a title — expect manual work, zero automation strategy, and constant “urgent fixes.” No documentation, no process, and no real accountability. Blame is passed down, credit goes up. Micromanagement is rampant. Every small change needs multiple approvals, yet no one takes ownership when things fail. Toxic communication — feedback is taken personally, and technical suggestions are often ignored unless they come from “the right person.” Burnout is common, and work-life balance is non-existent. Business is not growing so management is blaming each other.
