Pros
- Working remotely, although travel had become more frequent in my last 6 months with the company.
- There are still one or two skilled developers at the company.
Cons
- High Turnover in leadership and delivery positions
- Projects frequently fail or go far over budget due to high turnover rates. In the last 12 months, about half of my projects were those where I was pulled in when another resource quit.
- Middle managers are over-burdened with non-management (ie build/delivery) work
- Many talented EnablePathers have left. Only a handful of people have been there > 2 years.
- Not much opportunity for advancement
- Small teams with little interaction from others in your role, meaning fewer chances to learn from more experienced TAs, SAs, and EMs.
- Many newer developers seem to be knowledgeable about coding in general, but it seemed like they were still trying to learn how to code in Salesforce. Ran into many issues where a dev wasn't aware of certain standard functionality in Salesforce or would write code that caused a governor limit error.
