Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are excellent, and managers treat you as a human being

Cons

This is the most dull and numbing job of my career. Boring, uninspiring, and absolutely meaningless. Your work is constantly interrupted by the necessity to play the Workday game: needless meetings, grooming, story points, work to talk about the way we work, retros over retros, public display of pats-over-shoulders, and so on. You feel like your actual work has no meaning.
