You'll increasingly NOT be working with ClojureScript into the future since the leadership made the baffling decision to switch future new front-end development to TypeScript. For an engineering team that likes to promote Clojure and their commitment to it etc etc, this is a really, really bizarre decision for them to have made. The only thing that will be keeping ClojureScript around long-term is the existing tech debt in the main product.
Speaking of tech debt ... there is a lot of that. This is a mostly older code base, and it shows. The leadership speaks about tackling this, and even spun off a separate team to look into some of the biggest issues. But honestly, they (so far) just seem to be sweeping problems under the rug by adding extra layers on top. Not really solving any of the underlying problems and just adding brand new ways for developers to encounter random, unexpected local dev environment problems day-to-day.
Speaking from the engineering side of things. leadership is the biggest problem at this company. On the surface, everyone seems happy and positive and great overall. Once you peek under the hood you see that things are very disorganized. They seem to be really unaware of what is going on within the various engineering teams, or just turning a blind-eye to the very real problems. Several big problems with the project I was on were blamed solely on the guy who had just left (in reality, they were not solely his fault, there was *plenty* of blame to go around). This blame was casually thrown around by multiple levels of management, so they're all in on it. I was actually surprised at how I didn't have to even prod at all before these "leaders" just casually blamed the guy. This kind of thing is just another indication that leadership don't know what the problems really are and they're just reacting day to day with no plan.
There's a lot of things like this that just left me with the feeling that the seemingly happy/enthusiastic culture is just mostly fake. Just a thin layer papering over the problems.
