Ventajas
Good pay, blank slate to design for
Desventajas
Abysmal hiring and vetting, terrible team composition choices.
Those hiring for the tech roles are letting in basically anyone.
Everyone is doing the bare minimum.
Textbook example of how hilarious Agile development can be.
A days worth of LLM-assisted development is nickel-and-dimed to take an entire sprint.
Worst frontend visual accuracy I've seen to date in my career.
Multiple project managers for a small ecommerce website. At one point there was three. (?)
Entire offshore team on top of the domestic team that truly does not know what they are doing. This amalgamates to what you would expect: crawling at a snails pace, with too many cooks in the kitchen, and no sense of connectivity to the team.
Middle-middle management gets in the way so much that agitation is unavoidable. You will have to spar with them and, in my case, be told that you are not a cultural fit because you didn't say Yes Ma'am. I apparently needed to entertain their silly frontend asks that are against best practices and confusing for users with zero pushback to keep my job.
This job should not be relied on as a primary source of income when contract (or in general, maybe). They came up with an excuse to end my contract with zero days notice.
Leadership gets promotions for being in meetings all day and leaving you hung out to dry, without having the capability or awareness of knowing what actually needs done to solve the problems the product development faces.
