Pros

Not a lot of after hours work. Good CBD location.

Cons

Engineers have become commodities to new management. Morale is really low with lots of exits both at management and engineer level. Technical and team decisions are made without consultation with Engineers now. Culture has nose dived in the last year. Gone are the days of having a beer and chips and discussing engineering issues on a Friday after 4 or to bond with co-workers. Now you can have a beer at your desk after 4:30 on Fridays. Current Engineering management hired from the types of companies that we use to make fun of seem to be quickly moving the company away from Pair Programming and other practices that made the company successful. Pay is under market (by the company's own admission) but many of the reasons people worked at Tyro despite this fact have diminished.

Thank you for your feedback. I am of course saddened that you feel the way that you do about the changes that are happening within Engineering at Tyro. As any company grows, there will inevitably be some changes that take place to accommodate that growth. Some of these changes will affect the way that the company ‘feels’, and these changes will often be most acutely felt by those who have been around longest. A big part of my role and that of the Engineering Leadership Team is to identify the challenges and opportunities that present themselves within Engineering, and enlist the help of everyone in the department to come up with ways to address them. I want everyone in the team to feel that they have a part to play in making Tyro a great place to work. Tyro has always set a very high bar for people joining the Engineering team, so every time someone leaves, it is regrettable. However, I believe that the people that we are bringing in to Tyro are of an equally high calibre and bringing in external thinking only serves to make us all more experienced and challenged as a whole. I encourage you to speak with me directly to openly discuss these concerns and any others that need addressing.
