Business outlook
Pros
Lots of people have been there for a long time and have a lot of domain knowledge. Office is nice and people are friendly. Newer software teams working in Java have decent standards and work well.
Cons
Decades old C/C++ code base. Huge technical debt. No unit testing or CI/CD. All testing is done manually by a team of testers. No modern C++ features. Senior engineers just want to keep everything the way it is. I was forced to revert even small improvements to code because no changes were allowed. Bad quality, reliability, scalability. One colleague warned me no-one cares about quality. I tried to improve standards, failed, and left. Many ad-hoc variations of old software still supported making development complicated.
