Pay? Possibly, if you either got stock early enough or if you are in a cash bonus window.
Trash "leadership" – really just upper management with zero vision.
Horribly backwards talent ranking system, which is really still a good 'ol boy system.
You will always grind, but never in a good way. It's just fighting the horribly inept tooling, procedures, and bureaucracy.
It's all about following trends and latching on to the latest buzzwords (see GenAI buzz).
Most upper management now isn't engineering but product managers and salespeople who have no clue about tech debt or what it really means to take tradeoffs through a product lifecycle.
There is a ton of waste on stupid projects begging for a customer.
Get rid of Andy? Get back to engineering leadership.
