Pros

Good environment. Good policy. Good work. Cabs and perks.

Cons

Politics in project.

Direct visibility to directors is being cut.

There are lots of barriers to talk directly to directors.

90% of the work credit is being taken by SMs without letting the director know who is actually working on it.

If you ask for promotion, you would be pushed as a SME to some different team with different skills, along with the work of your own team. They'll say for promotion you have to handle multiple teams. When you explain that you don't have any idea of that skill and it is nowhere related to your 12+ years of experience, they would simply say that they would arrange KT. While the truth is, the person supposed to give KT himself is suffering a lot and requested to be released from this burning project.

Management should know how to handle the project and should align the right skilled resources on the specific project. It's not a problem in Spring Boot microservices that you are aligning integration resources or UI resources there and giving the reason that since you asked for promotion, you have to handle this. It is nowhere related to their technology.

Advice to Management

Director should connect to AMs bi-weekly and monthly to take feedback.

Management should know how to align the right skilled resource to the specific project. It shouldn't be like the problem is in Spring Boot microservices, and you are aligning an integration resource or UI resource there, giving the reason that since you asked for a promotion, you have to handle this. It is not related to their technology.

It increases mental health and stress.

Opportunities should be given to grow and develop and take a higher role in the similar technology.
