Pros

Pay was okay but it wasn't worth the mental anguish of being overworked due to your colleagues being made redundant every 2nd week

Cons

Management of DevOps itself was great. It became apparent how much the manager was holding things down to allow us to continue our work when he left. We weren't able to complete anything fully. Due to the conflicting priorities arbitrarily made by senior management. Nothing is handled correctly and everything is always broken because there is no time to fix existing services or processes. Micromanagement is above and beyond now, 0 autonomy on things and how they should be handled. And the CEO doesn't value the software product at all. Almost like its a problem child he is stuck with that he isn't allowed to get rid of. Sales can never hit their targets so every quarter more redundancies. But it's NEVER the Sales staff who can't sell a product not getting the right value to customers it's the developers who are trying to get the right value in but are being told to work on something entirely different because that's "the company's vision" which also changes 3 times a week.

Pros

The company's mission is incredible and so needed. It started dedicated to finding the right roles for veterans exiting service. eventually the demographics changed to include other groups like neurodiverse. They made mistakes but the new CEO is trying to right the ship. There are some really great people who work here but sadly few and far between.

Cons

The training provided was on a minimal amount and employees really couldn't perform their roles 100% without additional training. I found the culture very toxic and very military which doesn't work if you are NOT IN THE MILITARY. This was a corporate company not the military, but people refused to follow proper procedures and go around people if they didn't get the answer they wanted to hear. I personally experienced bullying from senior leaders and peers. I reported it to the appropriate authority only to be completely ignored. When it continued, I reported it again only to hear that was okay because "people were just upset at the situation". Granted people can be upset, It is allowed, but to be called names in a teams meeting, yelled at in other meetings, and to be disregarded when the concern is raised is not okay.
