Pros
- Interesting industry (online streaming). - Potentially amazing project like Discovery+. - Some truly amazing engineering talent still hiding in the company. - Good salary (comes with a a lot of cons).
Cons
- Poor leadership allowing for in-fighting, politics, games, talking a lot not doing much. - Deadlines are decided before the product team knows the requirement, all being dropped on the engineering team to deliver. - Massive focus on quantity over quality in many aspects and areas. - Poor and ultra-complicated app architecture across all platforms. - No support for technology and engineering from high-level managers. - Lack of structure within the organisation. - No clarity, misinformation, poor communication in every direction - A blame culture based on bringing people down, rather than growth. - Majority of technology is decided above and just dropped on teams. - Definitely not agile! Place where mid-management wants to be involved, but everybody is scared to make any decisions. - I see a decline in all areas within the last half-year.
