Pros

Devfactory managed to hire some pretty good engineers. They are good people trying to meet ends.

Cons

Senior staffs like Technical Account managers, Technical Delivery managers and even their Technical Architects are grossly incompetent. They resemble much more like a robot who does simply a repetitive mechanical tasks. This is no surprise though, as the company's goal and vision is to be a factory, working here is very dull and doesn't stimulate creativity and innovation. Work here for the money but don't expect a career to come out of it.

Pros

Each week I'm working on specs for different products, businesses and tech stacks. Always interesting and always new. Never have to think about cost or business factors when making decisions. I'm coached to always look for the simplest technical solution. This is liberating and and allows for clear focus.

Cons

Tough to move up to the next level. Everyone on the team is super talented which makes it difficult to stand out.

Pros

Best practices in software industry like SCRUM, Build Processes, Code Reviews, Performance Matrix, flexible timings as far as you can commit 30+ hours pw.

Cons

The job comes with running a software that takes picture of your desktop current windows every 10 mins as well as detects keyboard and mouse movement to guess if you are not there or idol. So you have to be active all the time on the computer, even if you are thinking about an algorithm architecture or whatever, make sure to throw in few keys or move your mouse after couple of mins
