Good benefits, pay was good.

Management lacks control over the organization. There's no clear direction and processes to measure employee contributions are lacking. Employees lacking technical skills were often promoted to senior-level roles without being able to do senior-level work. Some staff-level architects were often perceived as valuable for being loud and visible, but did not have the experience to contribute and often led meetings and projects astray. The lack of guidelines prevented management from monitoring this and correcting to keep projects meeting deadlines.

Management needs to put processes in place to measure anything, but ideally things that count. It's very discouraging to see IC's at all levels getting rewarded when it's very clear these individuals have no idea what they are doing.
