Pros
Work life balance. That’s all.
Cons
Architecture dictate: software, frameworks, methologies and micro manage developer code within source control. Enforce a coding framework created by the acquired company “Rightscale” to micro manage code as its being auto generated. Mid and senior management claim to listen, however there general response when one finally gets to the point is that all departments are unhappy due to changes and that you should not openly seem to be negative as that could give the impression to one location is struggling more than another. Smoke and mirrors and poorly governed data on some of the products. Global architectural decisions are seemly based on buzz words and hot topic methodologies rather than tried experience. Terminologies and buzzwords are dropped at a whim without actual understanding or proven experience Career progression appears to be favoured towards new hires or cliques. This company has the potential of deskilling employees due to the technologies being used and the way that people must use them. E.g Use a Golang framework that hardly any other company uses to auto generate templates. Then copy paste code from other internal solutions and then butcher it to supposedly follow a domain driven design (that isn’t actually DDD). Copy paste mentality does not teach someone how to code or enable someone to keep their skills. Giving the impression of flat structure whilst at the same time having a clear top management structure. Weighting uniformed opinions over experience. Ignoring raised issues if they go against to architectural dictate.
