Pluspunten
I worked at Adaptive Insights Business Unit and what was once a quirky startup that had poker tables, a band that played every so often, parties for every sort of holiday that you could think of. There used to be a forward thinking idea of pushing better tools to produce software. There was incentives to stick around while workday absorbed the business unit.
Minpunten
The unit has changed into a large corporate structure where OKRs, organizational key results rule supreme. Middle managers weaponize OKRs for their personal gains. Middle managers are constantly looking for scapegoats, shifting blames and unwanted OKRs to other teams. The business unit constantly misses targets and therefore applies incredible pressure to the teams. Poor communication amongst managers, the constant need to fulfill one manager's requirements while the other is upset that your unable to fulfill their requirements. Managers publically insulting other teams. The software code is incredibly poorly written. Numberous security holes, use of very old software. Imagine working with very old school engineers who don't care to improve the setup nor are they really helping you to do your job. If your planning to do work here, most likely these engineers will sit around attempt criticize whatever work you do in an attempt to maintain relevance.
