Leadership needs work, but the team's solid.
Working here has its ups and downs. The direct team support is fantastic, and the actual software development work can be engaging. However, senior leadership struggles with clear communication and consistent direction, making things tough for agile teams.
I've really enjoyed working with my direct team members; everyone's super supportive. The work on our core software development project is genuinely interesting for a big tech company. Plus, the remote work flexibility is a huge perk, letting me stay in Austin.
Leadership communication from the top down is pretty weak, especially regarding strategic direction. There's a lot of churn in project priorities which affects agile teams negatively. It often feels like management isn't aligned on what's truly important.
Focus on clearer communication from senior leaders about company goals. Help managers empower their teams instead of constantly shifting focus. Invest in leadership training to create more consistent guidance.
