1 developer. 11 managers. wut?
Other than that, I find it a little odd that they don't actually link to Edenred. I know that they exist (a former client had a small partnership with them)
- the82nddoctor 12y agoSounds like a company I used to work for, they had 2 managers for every developer. That usually leads for a terrible decision making process.
- notahacker 12y agoIt sounds like a variant on the "how many CompanyX employees does it take to change a lightbulb?" joke. But in all seriousness, if anything 11 managers and one developer to a team suggests the objective is for the managers to learn stuff about teamwork and prototyping and innovating and all those other buzzwords rather than actually getting any viable products ready to ship. If they wanted to get stuff built cheaply they'd be better off organising their corporate-controlled "hackathon" with a normal developer ratio after doing their market studies, and if they want developers to bounce ideas off there's plenty of agencies keen for future work they could be courting without picking up hotel tabs. That doesn't mean the experience won't be odd or that the hotel tabs represent market rate, but the potential for "exploitation" exists just as much the other way round if one or more of the managers is convinced the idea is worth proceeding with, and you're the only person that knows to build it and available for hire at an hourly rate you choose...
