Avantages
- Location. - Some nice engineers you can call friends.
Inconvénients
- Leadership is completely disconnected from Engineering & Operations, with a complete lack of clarity in terms of objectives. - Prehistoric architects are making technical decisions which will inevitably cause even more inefficiency within Engineering. - They hire experts in their field but completely ignore their advice, which is often overruled by the non-technical. - The technology stack and platforms are absolutely dire, unreliable and will inevitably fold under the pressure of many more customers due to the lack of even the most basic orchestration and automation tooling. - General office atmosphere is depressing. I didn't realise the extent of this until jumping ship. Nobody actually wants to be there, or truly enjoys their role. - Mass outsourcing of Engineering to India and other BT-managed development firms is occurring. I wouldn't expect the small family vibe to last much longer.
