Pros: Some of the direct managers are genuinely supportive, which is nice as a Software Engineer. We have a pretty good hybrid setup too, working from the Austin, TX office a few days a week.
Cons: Higher-ups often lack clear vision for new product development, it feels like we're constantly pivoting. There's also some favoritism in who gets the cooler projects, which is frustrating in a corporate environment like this.
Advice to Management: Work on consistent communication from senior leadership regarding long-term goals for software engineering teams. Also, ensure fair project distribution across all developers, not just a select few.
