Pros
The organizational ethos is inherently congenial, facilitated by its modest size, fostering an environment where acquaintanceship with every team member is feasible, even in remote working scenarios.
The development team cultivates an inclusive culture tailored to accommodate diverse skill sets and levels of seniority. Harmonious team dynamics prevail, with proactive intervention by the team leader to promptly address any issues that may arise.
The company hosts generous summer and Christmas celebrations on select occasions throughout the years, enhancing camaraderie and fostering a positive work environment.
Cons
There exists a nuanced dynamic concerning trust with upper management, characterized by a discerning approach in delegating trust for pivotal technical decisions. Regrettably, this selectivity has, in my observation, led to suboptimal business decisions.
The prevailing orientation centers on immediate profitability, prioritizing short-term gains over the pursuit of sustained long-term financial viability, reflective of a business-first mindset.
The organization grapples with a considerable burden of technical debt, a challenge that, to date, has not been systematically addressed or mitigated.
