Toxic Managers and a Pathetic Tech Stack
Toxic Managers and a Pathetic Tech Stack
Ownership Access to infra
Toxic managers who won't let the team change by providing false negative feedback to other managers. This feedback is not shared with the SDE.
Promotions to SDE3 are not possible, as there are two-digit SDE2s in one team, and they don't offer projects with good scope to create large impact like SDE3.
No hike for the last two years.
Internal build tools are pathetic and take a lot of time to build. Even a small change takes five to ten minutes to build. Apps don't run on Mac; they need to be run on remote machines, and you cannot debug in an IDE. Development of a simple API takes days. This impacts work-life balance a lot.
Internal common applications have bad documentation and almost no support.
- Teams should use open-source build tools.
- The internal transfer process should be more transparent.
