Good - Mechanical Engineer bei WowApp: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Good team to work with

Work hard it will pay off

- great collective to work - a nice place to start understanding the basics of Agile software development, but nothing more. - great collaboration with the dev team leads (iOS, Android), dev feature teams members, QA's & full remote backend team. - Had the chance to improve a lot the app various workflows: release plan, procedures, QA release checklist, beta channel, but this was only because there was no one else available to make research & effort for this kind of stuff.

- the company business direction is dictated only from one direction: top-down - no prototyping allowed, no A/B testing, etc. - only focused on quantitative data and less qualitative data. - old technologies used, no time for adapting to the new technologies - only new features/implementations. - too often the feature teams were blocked in tech debt - no team allowed to improve the app architecture and adapt to new technologies. - very hard to get the vacation days approved. - no real support from the HR dept - Almost always forced to support my point of view on the salary increases I received, because that was not what was commonly agreed upon. - the annual salary raises came with hidden easter-eggs: new responsibilities under the hood. Office location/conditions downsides: - always felt the smell of the food close to my desk, since the stakeholder had a dedicated cook at the same flor. - no team-building: had only 2 of them in 6 years. - there was no objectively process analysis of the app, the release was solely dependent on the stakeholder point of view.
