I've mostly worked in smaller companies (max 250 employees) and recently joined one of the larger corporations (not automotive related).
The main issue I notice is how bad the communication is and how little can be done & decided. Before deploying a new Jenkins pipeline I need to speak to two different teams. It's insane how much time is lost doing meetings and syncs.
Maybe deploying was a bad choice of wording, I'm talking about setting up a new pipeline, for my repository with an internal tool.
I need to speak to two different teams to ensure my CI/CD jumps through all the necessary hoops.
Totally the same experience. And then everyone is expected to work on weekends because that deadline that was missed four times before definitely needs to be done by this weekend. At least until it gets missed for the fifth time.
There's what "senior"-level developers say about themselves, and there's what's actually generally true about them. The two notions are, of course, not the same.
I worked for two years on a medical app. From my limited experience with audits it was more focused on everything being compliant with the ISO 9001 & ISO 13485. Actual tech audits never happend and stuff like Emailing scanned letters never occured. However this was in Hessen and not Berlin.
My point being I guess its ok-ish to not know what software libs are, the paper workflow is still horrible.
Feh, Merkel created conditions for the rise of right wing fascism... IMO.
She and her finance minister championed austerity uber alles, squeezing the middle and lower class across the EU, and then she said refugees were welcome. I agree with the idea of helping people fleeing bombs and bullets, but after decades of saying there's money, we need to watch our budgets, suddenly there's money? Nooo fucking wonder the populist right managed to grasp on to the disillusionment of the lower/middle class.
Apparently mistaken faith in austerity and the invisible hand of the market is comparable to the color of one's skin. One is born with it and can't change it...
