Business Outlook

Pros

- WFH for devs is still an option which is HUGE in 2025 - Free lunch at HQ 3 days/week - Different social events during the week

Cons

- For some teams, management is a HUGE problem, since they don't seem capable enough to manage pressure or deadlines which then they put into developers - ON CALL - There are not much female leaders(PM's, managers, etc) IMO

Pros

The tasks that have been assigned to me has all been well taught and turned over to me clearly and everyone in my team has been very accommodating in answering my questions regarding the work to be done.

Cons

The only con for me is my work schedule but I have chosen to take the shift and willingly agreed to it and the pros make the work really promising.
