Sr. Software Engineer / Developer / Programmer Reviews - Page 3

Cons: Openness to negotiate salary based on an experience based approach instead of just a blanket value.

Cons: Cost of living is increasing really fast

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Being team leader to a low-performing team, mainly containing contractors.

Cons: Usually, there is an unhealthy and stressful relationship with work

Cons: There are still a lot of people (Managers) that need convincing to the idea that remote working is viable and just as productive. These people should understand properly that working from home is not considered as a means to skive, by the majority of professionals whose work can be achieved remotely, programming, testing, IT work. Commuting is stressful, time consuming, non-ecological and frustrating. Consider a previous job, I had a 2 hour commute, each side of the day. so 4 hours of not being paid, to get to a job that I could have done over a wire. I am tired and frustrated by the time I got to work. I don't have my creature comforts and feel under Damocles that I have the same experience to get home. It costs a lot of fuel, car parking costs, dry cleaning etc. At home, I can rock out of bed, attend toilet and shower and go to my specially partitioned part of my house, so I am not mixing work and being at home of a weekend, and be proactive and ready within 15 minutes. This encourages me to work twice as hard, to maintain the option of working at home.

Cons: Not so much to learn in my field
