Ventajas
- Very nice, cozy office - Equipment mostly fine for work - Good benefits - Seemingly professional working style - Retrospective sessions, not only in technical matters - Fresh company with a lot to do, and opportunities to advance in career - Down-to-Earth, approachable, open minded high leadership
Desventajas
- Despite good base salary, there is no cafeteria - No corporate phone is provided, but they expect you to be available occasionally outside of working hours, or make some occasional work related calls. - Struggling with on-boarding on technical positions, lack of proper documentation and process; lack of proper handover - partially aware of it - Dev-only DevOps approach, operations' priorities might be overridden by dev - Low team integrity - Technical leadership is inflexible, sometimes self-contracitory; like, voices a bad opinion on blaming culture, but still applies it; discredits results without review; asks you for your opinion, but if it differs from his, he forces it on you. Encourages to speak up, but doing so has no effect. - completely unaware - Project management is infelxible, by-the-book (old-school german), sticks to a methodology even when it is not applicable. (Try to timebox troubleshooting, root cause analysis, or something you have zero information about. Stick to plan with ad-hoc incidents. Take responsibility for something that you have no influence on.) Also actively refuses feedback along with a smile. - Despite the low employee count, they are vulnerable to office politics, and they are not aware of it - Relatively too much time spent on meetings (like all-employee meeting every week) - Tech leader and Project manager are not open to constructive critical feedback, and they are not aware of it; which makes the retrospective sessions somewhat less useful. Non-tech issues are piling up.
