Salary, Stock options, Smart SDEs

Most ridiculous and poisonous place I ever worked (and I worked in many places). Nobody really cares about organizing the work process. No knowledge transfer. No junior developers nurturing to help them get better. No code or design refactoring for years. Not a right place to learn technology or improve as an engineer. A swamp full of crocodiles, preaching "leadership principles" as communists would preach their doctrine in Stalin's time in USSR, but giving no attention to real quality or sanity in development. No real leadership either. Just a huge bunch of pretenders leading this ship to its wreckage.

Fire all your DEI hires.

Allow engineers to provide useful feedback to product.

Instead of firing/"piping" 'bad performers' (I'm not one of them, to be sure. I saw how you treat others), try to understand why they under-perform in your supposed-to-be great and inspiring environment.

Most of you are just here for stock options. No one cares.
