Случайно наткнулся на отзыв о работе в понд5. Как и следовало ожидать - рыба гниет с головы... Но особо верить нельзя
I worked at Pond5 full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- They have the money so you will probably get whatever you ask for. - They let you work remotely.
Cons
- Their codebase is a complete disaster, which itself is understandable as it's 10+ years old, HOWEVER, they show no intention whatsoever to do something about it; if you actually try to help and suggest some ideas from 2015 instead of 2005, i.e. start writing new code in MVC and start progressively transforming the legacy code to MVC as well instead of just writing more crap, you will hear that "it's not possible/correct to do it that way", "I've seen so many rewriting projects fail badly" (no you haven't unless they were really poorly managed, or you're just lying) or that "you are crazy for wanting to have a model per table" (WTF? welcome to 2009 dude) or that "you cannot model everything" (lol) or that they are "very skeptical of dynamic models" (do you even know how they work or have you only used them in third-party frameworks?). I thought they were kidding me at first, but they were actually serious. - They do code reviews of each pull request before it goes live, which itself is of course GREAT. However, they use it rather as a tool to demonstrate their supposed superiority by making comments that are totally out of the place; yes, about 20 - 25% of their comments of my code was absolutely correct and I have made mistakes as a newcomer to their nightmare code, however, the remaining 75-80% was just bugging me with stupid things (i.e. "you should definitely use switch here instead of if, no doubt about this"; "this mehtod needs to be commented"; "oh you commented this method? the comment here is redundant" etc.) and you need to spend your time "fixing" these "mistakes". I think they have WAY worse issues in their code to worry about. - Generally, even if you have 10+ years of experience and some amazing projects under your belt which are - unlike theirs - correctly written and in perfect condition, they will treat you as if you don't know anything. I would MAYBE accept this as a junior and from people who actually show me that they know something, but definitely not after 10 years of constant learning of newest trends and from people majority of which probably learned their last thing in programming in 2010 if not earlier, yet, they think they know everything.
