An example of how to ruin a once good company.
Pros
- Despite the challenges, some dedicated professionals persist within the company. - It can be a beneficial starting point for interns. - Good CI/CD processes.
Cons
- It´s difficult to be promoted unless you threat to quit. Every area does it its own way and it´s more related to politics than anything else. - Numerous processes, even essential ones, seem to exist merely to check off boxes, with little concern for actual value or proper execution. - Constant, unorganized priority changes and short-term initiatives lack effective organization, scope, and progression. - Benefits vanish without prior notification. - Contractors are hired without undergoing a technical interview. - It doesn't matter whether you perform or not. Lazy people continue to bounce from one team to another because no one wants to take the time to fire them, causing the morale of working employees to decline steadily. - Certain products lack essential support and maintenance, relying on the goodwill of other teams. - Lots of spyware installed in windows machines that makes good machines almost useless and Macs are only replaced when completely nonfunctional. - System updates are applied company wide before knowing if they are safe or will cause major issues. - While respecting the sensitivity of the information, there is room for improvement in security measures and processes. - Disturbingly, disrespectful and threatening behavior among colleagues is tolerated by managers. - No QA - Senseless budget cuts in some areas while spending in other less important ones. These issues collectively contribute to a declining work environment, overshadowing the positive aspects of the company's history and potential.
