I've had seven managers in my time there, and all of my coworkers left in a continuous stream.
This does not provide a good growth and learning atmosphere.
It also increases the workload on the remaining engineers.
Leadership principles are used as a pretext by middle management to stifle people they don't like.
Don't start me on the technical bar. It is wildly inconsistent.
Listen. And give a **** about your employees.
