Decent people thrown into chaos. The values coming from the top discourage creating uniform processes and infrastructure. As a result, there's wild variance in quality from team to team. Lots of meetings. No build system, containerization, or local testing. Production breaks at an embarrassing rate.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The company needs to Do What Works, not what the Agile Manifesto tells them to do.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The process was quite easy overall and didn't seriously test my engineering knowledge. The architectural interview problem was deliberately poorly defined and didn't provide much signal. Managers didn't know how to evaluate tech, so they just asked about Agile. Everyone was very friendly.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Under the banner of "self organization", the company has failed to assert common practices, hiring standards, or decent org-wide tooling. Meeting load can be very high; people pay lip service to process rather than trying to minimize it. Company is hiring too fast w/o needed support infrastructure.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers are territorial and have a hard, capital BP idea of what "Best Practices" are. Process is favored over tooling, which (+ capital A Agile) results in a proliferation of meetings. People are afraid to end these meetings when we finish early. All of this results in a lot of overhead.
