It's been said that working for a large company with an internal team could be quite a high risk, I have been in this position in the past, working for a huge org with a < 10 Dev strong Dev team who where trying to form, at the same time, contractors from large well known agencies where really running the show, we where beholden to them but at the same time being told that this was our stack.

1 year after I sensed danger and left, the team was dismantled.

I wonder if an internal Dev team really works in this sort of context, can an org outgrow it's dev team, or attempt to form one to save money, only for it to fail in comparison to scale?

Have you ever been here, or seen it work, let me know 🙂
