Pros
Free beer. we all know there ain't such thing, read the cons very carefully Loads of money for the best actors
Cons
Sole purpose of R3PI: be Solera Holdings marketing flagship. Feed social media accounts with shiny pictures, heavily used by HR and PRs. New potential Solera customers are invited here to see how cool and shiny Solera is. They visit the grounds and everybody put on a show for them Making software ain't the goal developers are only hired for the show. Think: monkeys in a zoo Storytelling on awesome ongoing projects is about as realistic as the scenario of a low budget porn movie Good actors must accept to swallow their pride, be ready to lie, put aside their technical knowledge and work on meaningless tasks at nights and weekends. At R3PI, this is called having the right mindset. These are your daily tasks. Building software isn't part of them. Marketing budget ain't unlimited anymore, the future of this show is becoming uncertain. As a first step, the London office is slowly being dismantled.
