Business outlook
Pros
Everyone is polite, lots of prestige from working at Next, staff discount etc.
Cons
jQuery inside of Typescript, lots of duplicate old files, both LESS and SCSS used, multiple versions of Bootstrap, a terrible deployment process that takes weeks, and you can't change a lot of things in case that breaks someone else's code so you're left with jQuery and bootstrap from 2 years ago, and handlebars from 5 years ago. Lots of Razor on the front end - typical microsoft development house with lots of full stack developers (which are actually back end C#.NET devs that think they know a lot about front end but end up using tables and floats to build layouts in 2021). Oh and you have to be on call/do overtime
