Ventajas
The lunch is free and quite good. The work life balance is ok, because working long hours is rather unusual here due to boring work, meaningless deadlines and unrewarding experiences.
Desventajas
Here is admittedly a very subjective summary of my experience and why it was a big mistake to join Centralway for me. I hope this will help somebody else to avoid loosing time at Centralway. So what will you find here? You will be hired and pitched as an ultra A player but you will work as a faceless code monkey in a boring Scrum team just like at any other company too. Centralway is not a technology company, but a small investment oriented startup run by a small group of suit-and-tie people, who never talk to anyone outside of their circle. As an engineer you will be a second rate employee who will be considered as easily replaceable at any time. There is absolutely no room for any kind of a career growth. All heads and leads are usually hired from outside. Expect to be managed by random young people without any notable engineering background and who have never proven anything in software engineering or in building of successful software products. They try their best, but they do not know anything better than you. Expect to work on seemingly pointless and highly questionable ideas you will probably not care about. You should prepare to work on the most technically undemanding stuff of your life in an environment constrained by a huge amount of processes and an army of stake holders. Expect to be unable to get even simple things done in days. All decisions are strictly top-down. You will be never involved into any strategic or architectural decisions and you will be not expected to ask about the "why" but to do whatever you were told to do. You should accept that "truth" and "facts" is not what you hear and see, but what you were told. The company communicates things to the public, which some colleagues consider as blatant lies. You may be surrounded by unhappy and frustrated colleagues, which causes a lot of unpleasant frictions. If you ever decide to leave, the last thing you should expect is that the company will fight for you to stay. Remember, as an engineer you are a disposable resource here.
