Pros

Many good people work here, but managers are driving them away or preventing them to excel. Everyone in HR is great. IT is also great.

Cons

You need to become a robot just to do what the SCRUM ticket says to do. If you do any extra work that is not defined in the SCRUM ticket, you will get in trouble. Senior management team says out loud that no one should be specialized in anything. It’s written on the company’s confluence page. They create this environment so that anyone can be replaced at any time. This leads into no one knows how the system works very well, but managers still push everyone to finish tasks as fast as a specialist. Just doesn’t make sense. Everyday process keeps on changing and developers constantly need to do QA’s work. You are asked to do in the area that you have no desire to do or no experience; therefore, the work is not getting done right and the top managers just blame on engineers. It’s not mid-level managers’ fault, it’s coming from the top executives. Mid-level managers don’t have any choice, but to follow the company’s rules. Read the previous review, “It’s a job that will leave you dissatisfied”. It describes the company environment very well. Be very careful working here. Saw many good employees getting let go without any good reasons. They go through constant hiring and layoffs.
