In software engineering, I prefer a work environment that
- will respect self and other teammates

- can collaborate and provide support to each other
- can allow open discussion to explore different designs or opinions
- is open to new ideas and can accept calculated risks to innovate
- can allow and accept mistakes that are reasonable

Nicole’s Answer

Hi Khiem. Thanks so much for this awesome question.

I have two answers. I prefer to work in environments where I can see the direct impact on the clients, teams or business initiatives that I serve. I also prefer to work in environments where I get a chance to build, test, review, design/redesign...in other words I prefer to work in environments where I get some time to think :).

While technically, my title is not as a software engineer, I have been writing code, in various languages, for many, many years. The one thing that I ensure that I carve out is time to think about what I am writing and how what I am writing works for today and then down the road. In my view, this type of anticipatory development can only happen if you know why you are doing what you are doing.

After starting with and understanding "the why" there is no shortage of tools that can get you to the end in an efficient and collaborative manner. Which brings me to a third answer..collaboration...I really enjoy spaces where I can collaborate with others. In my experience, this is time well spent and generally yields better results.

Hope you find this answer helpful. Best of luck to you!

Thierry’s Answer

I'll support Jason's answer in the sense that the culture and the people you work with should be the critical deciding factor in choosing your work environment. Especially ins early career, finding a place that will support your development/growth as an individual and a professional is paramount.

The next should be to find a subject you relate to or passionate about as it helps with the sense of purpose. When you spend so many hours and years working, being able to work on subjects that matters to you and with people you trust and support you, makes a huge difference.

The technical challenges, technology, languages etc can come next, there is always a tough problem to solve in anything worthwhile working on, additionally, choosing to become an engineer you are basically signing up for learning and evolving constantly throughout your entire career. As such focusing on a language, O/S or specific technology would not be the optimum priority.
