Worst Tech Company of My Career
Worst Tech Company of My Career
Pay and benefits are good. People around you are smart.
Hustle culture. Lots of politics. Docs are important, but not that much. Lots of tech debt. Senior leaders do not care about the eng or the teams; they care only about their own promos and numbers. Leadership principles are used for the benefit of individuals as opposed to the company's sake. We are required to let go every year: 6-10% of eng, even if they are great eng, all under the pretext that the bar has risen.
Start to hear your eng teams and not only yourself.
