Condé Nast reviews

* Really monotonous work. I've mostly updated configuration repositories or done simple bug fixes, both of which are both below my skill level * Some pretty egotistical engineers who aren't as technically strong as they'd like to believe; they just love to conflate 'abstraction' and 'indirection', and shoehorn their supposed understanding of big O notation into discussions in which it makes no sense, for example * Way too many middle managers, most of whom pester you constantly and organise pointless meetings just to look busy, all while gesticulating excessively; don't expect to be able to get into a coding groove at this place * Too much involvement from external consultancies; currently we rely on FOUR different vendors, all of whom have their own agendas for growing * Extremely political. Despite the sexist content found in GQ, they'll happy provide female engineers with token promotions just so they appear progressive. While I agree there's an under-representation of women in tech, it's really a cheap, patronising opportunity for the company to brag on LinkedIn

The company can’t seem to get out of its own way. There is an unhealthy amount of politics and all the strongest people are leaving and nothing is done to retain key staff.
