Calm as lake in old projects, absolute chaos in others
Pros
- If you are a manager, you basically do not work! only obey commands of the upper managements and pass them to the poor employees and get paid well and have as much children as possible to go to paternity/maternity leave. - basically very flexible for WFH and sick and vacation days. - free coffee. croissants on Fridays which portions goes smaller and smaller every week. - No one wants to work for kronos, so just apply and show yourself ready to accept to work in a chaotic environment, and you'll get the offer!
Cons
- Workforce Central employees really enjoy their time, but again nothing new is learned by working for kronos. - Workforce Dimensions is the absolute Chaos at its best. There is no technology, no methodology, no culture and no aspects could be named which is done right. - For each new micro feature, many more complicated bugs are introduced, and it is funny that those bugfixes wont go through regression before they merge, so each bugfix again introduces many more new bugs. leading to having the most unstable and chaotic software solution as possible. - The softwares in all aspects of the company are not done right from the beginning. - Forget about team spirit and collaboration, you do not find it here. - Forget about team members who are willing to share their knowledge, they either do not know or do not want to share their knowledge. - Prepare to work on the weekends very often with no fault of your own. - Forget about creativity and innovation, none is defined and all of the time of the developers and QAs is wasted on bringing the chaotic software solution back together. - Frameworks are done by consultants quickly and cheaply so expect unmaintainable and chaotic framework. - There is no employee freedom at all, either obey to work on what is defined and using the technology and tools they define or leave the company. - Toxic and negative culture. meaning you are not safe from being constantly judged and reported to the upper management based on those judgements. - When an issue arises in the team, team members pass it to others. - Deadlines are not fair and are imaginary. meaning they create alot of negative stress and health issues for the employees who work. - Most of the new work is assigned to a very few employees, and the rest of employees are doing pointless maintenance of a badly designed system. if they put those who do maintenance on the new work, they can not handle it or they refuse. obvious signs of a untraceable bloating software.
