If you have no other option, it's ok

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-You can try out different projects and get some good experience depending on the team you're with -Good place to work for around 2 years, after that it becomes stale quickly -you do meet some good people who care

Cons

- Generally under resourced and under staffed for a lot of projects - A lot of managers do not care about anything beyond sitting through daily meetings, allocate tasks, and if something goes wrong they'll blame someone else - a lot of the forced culture stuff is fake - this company loves its process driven work, it creates so much slowness - technically skilled people carry the projects, but they're the least recognised
