The incompetence is strong with this one.

Pros

Younglings, younglings, gather 'round. The ineptidude clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.

Cons

Management is unprofessional and inexperienced. There are lots of organizational changes, but no one seems to have a clear view of "The Future". They have tons of meetings to talk about it, but only come out of those meetings and do nothing. Overall, there is a huge lack of accountability throughout the organization. There is never a clear picture of who is in charge.

Process Over People

Pros

This may be a good stepping stone if you are fresh out of college, or just starting out in technology (or just not serious about your career). There is absolutely no danger of being over-worked, or working at a fast pace! Put a year of experience on your resume and move on to a real software development company. You will have a greater appreciation of any well-run / capable organization in your future. This is a good place to learn what not to do.

Cons

On the flip side, this is not a good fit if you are capable, knowledgeable and experienced. They just hire consultants with knowledge and experience to do the actual work. From HR through management, they do not understand what professionalism is. It is all PROCESS over PEOPLE. Process rules.

I am exhausted.

Pros

This job pays the bills.

Cons

This job does not spark joy. It should be gently thanked. Then thrown out. But. It pays the bills. It makes sure I don’t get cavities. It buys my kids gifts on Christmas. Never mind that every second I spend working here is agonizing. The politics. The ignorance. The delusions of glory. I know there’s a better place out there. A happier place. A more genuine place. A place where my talents are going to be appreciated. Fear grips me from finding it. Who will pay the bills?  What will I do when I get cavities? How will I tell my kids there’s no Christmas this year? So I stay. And I stay quiet. Because. Bills need to get paid. Healthy teeth and gums are important. Christmas needs to happen. Never mind that my spirit is slowly dying. So stay away. If you value your soul. Unless you are ready to drink the Kool-Aid.

I have been there myself with a few jobs. Certainly not the company we are trying to build here! I hope you see something in our future that reinvigorates you. If you ever want to sit down and have a cup of coffee in a cone of safety, let me know. Life is way too short to feel this way about the place you practice your craft 40 hours a week. Ed
