Pros
- Some amazing, brilliant people trying to do their best and make things better in a tough situation - Exciting engineering problems to solve and a cool tech stack depending on what team - At least one of the engineering directors has his head screwed on and is trying to set a technical strategy that makes sense - Unlimited sick leave - Health insurance - Office in Newmarket (though I heard they're closing it) - CEO Mark is a nice guy, but has inherited a big mess and there are some bad eggs in high places
Kontras
- Top level management often from Coretex side turn a blind eye to the reality of the state of their products/tech, way too focused on reputation and personal gain - Diversity/inclusion seems like an afterthought. After the last round of layoffs and people leaving I'd be interested to see the gender stats, especially in leadership and engineering - HR is completely disconnected from their people and have far too much control in engineering ways of working. Seems they spend a lot of their time making excuses - Some teams completely under the pump, expected to cancel leave and work longer hours despite leadership saying they want teams to push back when this happens; they're the ones pushing it on these teams - Moving towards the C# stack, new devs have to use Windows machines - Trying to get everyone to move from Slack to Teams, with no investigation done on productivity and features, I guess this is a symptom of a wider issue of not listening to people
