Pros
learning how to work at a software company with other people that work at software companies
Cons
- Superficially helpful people: i.e. people refusing to assist even if it is their primary job function, redirect to others who do the same, or in more frequent scenarios just ignoring people. Lots of internal finger pointing and trash talking other teams/people, overall this is becoming a toxic work environment. - Poor management and leadership: lack of guidance and investment in direct reports. I've been in scenarios where my years of experience, level of relationship with client and basic common sense have been ignored by my management repeatedly, only to get in front of the next level of leadership or the client and be eviscerated for not having prepped the very thing I tried to but was shut down over and over. - Lack of basic courtesy within groups: the level of unprofessionalism and rudeness I've experienced is unbelievable and too frequent from different individuals to not be a reflection of the culture. We are all here to get our jobs done and we don't have to be a**holes to each other to do that, stop being nasty and treat people with the same respect you would like to receive.
