Not worth it, tech doesn’t work - Senior Software Engineer bei Iris Automation (CA): Mitarbeiterbewertung

Good colleagues and a supportive work environment

The runway always runs short at some point

The job is interesting and engaging. Management works closely with the team and earnestly listens to our feedback and recommendations. Tasks, projects, and priorities are mutually agreed based on our skills, interests, and underlying necessities. It's refreshing to work in a place where I can influence and understand strategic decisions, rather than a flurry of conflicting priorities and management-by-crisis from above. There is minimal pressure to be in the office past core hours. For those rare times I've stayed late, dinner has been catered. Coworkers are friendly and competent. Weekly we self-organize various events that everyone has, to various extents, participated in, including dim sum, rock climbing, tennis, and robotic meetups. Often our families and significant others join in too.

As a small and young company, many processes and policies are still being developed. I've seen a lot of progress over the past few months and it's only getting better. Some underlying tools and processes, common to many engineers' work, could use a bit more of our focus so we don't accidentally re-invent the wheel a few times internally.
