Few smart and experienced people at the leadership level. Flex legacy is still paying off. The CEO was able to strike a deal with an SPAC which (if successful) would give the comany some additional runway. Work life balance in the software org could be great if you could talk at lenght about a small task that you are working on. Nobody seems to care or cross-check since there are either no deadlines or they are always expected to be missed. Decent base pay even if you value the equity to be worthless.
Crowded marketplace with competition from highly entrenched and deep pocketed players with decades of experience and head start. The company does not have any unique home grown technology and is merely an integrator in my opinion. The business model(s) keeps on changing every few months. No clear strategy for a software product. The so-called software product is developed by a "core team" that probably has never developed cloud native software before (imo). Software product definition is held hostage by the core team and hardware team(s) and dictated by tight deadlines for custom projects. Bro culture. In the software org, almost everybody is a relative or friend of somebody. Its only a matter of time before you would realize that almost everybody is a relative or a friend of somebody else from prior life. Managers continue and promote this by forcing hiring decisions by persistently reminding that a candidate is a referall/friend of an existing employee. So, unless you are aware of this hidden network, you would not even know what hit you if you didn't get along with somebody or have professional disagreement with someone. There is a 3 dimensional chess going on between US Team, Offshore Team and Hardware Team(s). If you either don't know how to play that game or don't want to play, be prepared to be the sacrificial pawn. Collaboration with offshore team is almost impossible due to lack of incentives/mandate to collaborate as well as time difference and language and cultural barriers. The offshore team which is considered "core team" almost exclusively communicates in native language outside of normal/open communication channels and treates the US team as an unnecessary baggage with zero collaboration. Tech stacks are selected based on who is available to implement something rather than on product/architectural requirements or a clear strategy. Most of the software developed by teams(s) other than the core team is eventually thrown away because of the encroachment strategy of the core team. Company offers options as equity incentive with questionable valuation. If you are looking to join a software company and hoping to build something from scratch in a startup environment, look somewhere else.
Candy lover Lillian Turano opens Sweets on High in downtown Wadsworth as fun place for kids to gather for both nostalgic and trendy treats.
The new building at Burlington International Airport is a dramatic improvement. The ground floor TSA checkpoint has twice as many security lanes, better lighting, newer equipment and a whole lot more space to spread out. Upstairs are seating areas with panoramic views of Camel’s Hump and Mount Mansf…
