Good benefits but chaotic management and structure

Business Outlook

Pros

Company benefits were good, work from home, free food coupons

Cons

Company struggled with management and processes, there is no defined software engineering process here, also no hierarchy, almost everyone is a software engineer. Every 6 months your manager will change, you will hear news someone has layed off, and you are expected to do everything as a software engineer. With the AI the managers will pressurize you to develop a 20 pd work in 5 days, and you are expected to perform.
