Pros
Lots of work flexibility, You cant go wrong with insurance domain in terms of future prospects and profitability but specific region management and processes will vary and may be embedded with anti-patterns as is the case with my region.
Cons
Code quality is very low, yet aspire to upgrade to latest versions of packages just to squash CVEs mainly for static analysis signaling. Complete dependence on AI without much criticality, skepticism and thinking. Engineering, deployment and software management processes, delegation of tasks are extremely haphazard. One is left not knowing what to do and or prioritize. When i joined theres obvious race conditions (dont need to ask AI for anything/everything please!) in the code and there were zero performance metrics (still zero of this writing) and performance tests (and the code has been there for three years or so). My feeling right now is, Its unknown whether the code quality or processes will improve. There are no estimation of tasks, random adhoc tasks get assigned, and there seems to be constant bugs (Im guessing this was the case even before AI assisted programming came about).
