Work-life balance Laid-back culture

Politics all over.

Unfair interview process. Hiring manager influences candidate selection even if unqualified. Appoint inexperienced candidates as tech-leads/BAs if you are closer to the Manager. Stale workforce - QAs don't like to code or promote automation. Outdated codebase. Lack of motivation to improve or move to latest technologies. People were grandfathered into being tech-leads and managers and don't have any competence. AA.com doesn't work well with acquisitions - divisive and non-inclusive culture.

Especially in AA.com - Get rid of managers who are very oblivious of what happens in their teams.

Favor candidates who are worthy of the job.

Follow a fair and steady procedure for interviews and candidate selection.

Bring in good management; it needs a major overhaul.

Don't set bad examples for everyone by picking inexperienced/unsuitable candidates for the job.

You can't make a well-experienced team of individuals who have been in the industry for more than a decade work under someone with a year of experience bossing them around as a tech lead.

Politics, politics, and politics in AA.com.

Scrum masters are unworthy of that name in some teams and it starts rubbing off on the team.
