Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work life balance & flexible hours Some interesting projects, many opportunities to learn new skills

Cons

The developer experience is severely lacking. It's slowly improving but has a very long way to go Lots of red tape The company pays well for entry level, but does not reward loyalty & upskilling. This promotes a culture of mediocrity in many cases. Top heavy, nontechnical leadership Sometimes difficult to get the tools you need to succeed.
