Low Pay, Low Morale, WLB

Software engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- WLB is good. - 9/80 schedule

Cons

- Low Pay. SW2 will make 80-100k? - Tech is not there. Will be working on C/C++ from 1998, so not Modern C++ - Outdated processes like SVN, no scrum, CI/CD, or unit tests. Only manual integration tests - Code Reviews are almost non-existent - Have to keep going into office when there is COVID, so pretty unsafe and gives insight into upper management’s priorities - Raises are small(3-7%) and expect like a 2k bonus - Cafeteria is pretty overpriced. They say it’s “subsidized”, but it costs 10+ a meal. - Work is in Poway, so that absolutely blows too
