I’ve only ever worked in Bank. But, I’ve never done any significant, meaningful work at USAA, project wise. It’s all something a single dev team could wrap up in a week, if even that, at a normal company. But, the pomp and circumstance of PIP and everybody circlej--king everybody else off after looking at a mural board is simply odd. And, then the planning on top of planning to make it appear that the teams have stuff to do, and the “metrics” they have to pretend exist….
My current team is mostly comprised of a handful of contractors from varying 3rd world countries. They aren’t growing as developers, and they sure as he-l aren’t gonna hire on as FTE. It’s unpleasant to think about…. living in a world where USAA is your best, possibly only, option by a mile.
Yeah, that was a ramble. But, what orgs at USAA actually provide value to their customers? Surely they can’t all be as bad as Bank, right?
