Great Team, Terrible Leadership
Great Team, Terrible Leadership
- Pretty good pay for the local market
- Some pretty strong developers and managers
CEO is forcing a return to the office whether it makes sense or not. Lots of good people are leaving.
Communication from the top is terrible. I learn more from the news than internal channels.
The company is generally employee-unfriendly. First-level managers are understanding, but at the GM level and above, you're just a replaceable cog.
The company is in cost-reduction mode. Teams are getting shrunk and moved, and as a result, fewer people end up owning more.
There's generally poor attention to quality, so there's tons of tech debt.
Development is glacier-slow due to tech debt and heavy processes.
Instead of "Strive to be the world's best employer," how about just "Be the world's best employer." It's not "Strive to deliver results." It's "Deliver results."
