Q&A With Happy Cog Employees

Supermotivating to follow layoffs with an utterly bizarre "use AI or else" all-hands when there's no plan & no training, just "bill more." & for what? i dont get raises. Enjoy your second, third, fourth house i guess.

Most of my work is done alone. Focus on AI and speed has impacted morale and work quality.

It is a great deal of solitude, ideal for some people.

Like a lot of agencies, it's often times about quantity over quality. You're often judged by how many tickets you can get out the door vs how well built and maintainable the code is. Amazing developer culture and team, but their hands are tied by speed and constantly having to worry about hours.

Lately everyone seems overworked, and exhausted. Standup meeetings are super quiet. Partners and managers blame covid. Super weird that nothing has been said about Ukraine or overall mental health or whatever. Company motto is people first, but I don't see it in practice. Other depts may do better.
