Business outlook
Pros
Important, meaningful work in the public service; committed, good people and very strong developers, at least one of whom I would describe as exceptional (though they've since left the company)
Cons
On-boarding was virtually non-existent, which was problematic in light of the complexities inherent to the service & the code-base. I was brought in to help with a specific issue (according to multiple, lengthy conversations with the technical interviewer who ultimately recommended my hiring), but I was immediately and consistently assigned where I had no background, ergo a recipe for failure.
