Stultifying, Yet High Pressure

Software engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Very strong pay rate (still not enough to negate the uninteresting work) CEO is good at stamping out certain ... contemporary cultural excesses It is genuinely and interesting business and interesting industry to be in.

Cons

The least interesting work I've ever had, combined with the most deadline pressure that I've ever had; a remarkably bad combination. Uninteresting technology platform. The guy from Memento had better continuity than the software planners governing my team - folks were desperately mashing on the control panel, figuratively. Monolith often meant poor bounds around each team's ownership of work, and unbounded expectations placed on you.
