Pros
- 100% remote now (love working from home!) - Creative liberty on work (which is good and bad)
Cons
- Leadership is often unfamiliar with their own product - certain management personnel have promised features to clients we don't actually have (without approving work for a new feature), which often leads to highly-stressful development cycles - Weak business operations - projects frequently fall behind and are highly disorganized - Code for all platforms is a mess (things like static reference to app context in Android) - thousands of if statements - No proper code review process - major architectural problems are able to slip into production code quite regularly - makes maintenance very difficult - Low likelihood of upward mobility - "Drop everything and do this now" mentality - makes planning your work day pretty much impossible - Unreasonable development expectations - Management frequently "overrides" estimates provided by developers and expects the deadlines to be met
