Pluspunten

Folks are nice. Pay is decent. Work is mostly interesting.

Minpunten

Management is pretty terrible. Because of the organization of the teams collaboration between teams is really not incentivized and so interactions between many teams feels quite adversarial as you fight over who's "points" are going to be used to accomplish some task. I've never worked somewhere with this sort of behavior and it is seriously frustrating. We're trying to ship a product as a company. I don't care if your team is going to miss a deadline or doesn't have enough points to do something... the work has to get done and we need to work together to get it done.

Thanks for expressing your concerns about agile. The planning we do is standard to the scaled agile approach: Big Room Planning at the epic level. The goal is to give everyone on the team visibility into the epic and create a basis for the iterative decision-making. Totally appreciate the need to constantly flex and iterate from the initial thoughts.

Pluspunten

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Minpunten

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
