Chaos and unhealthy culture in special projects
Chaos and unhealthy culture in special projects
- Good benefits
- Decent salary and RSUs
- Emphasis on good software process
- Very top-down flow of any work; no transparency; engineers do not know what and why a particular decision is made.
- Unnecessary high level of secrecy blocks engineers' minds from doing creative things.
- Playing catch-up in machine learning/AI.
- Unstable in machine learning projects due to managers who know nothing about recent machine learning trends.
- Culture promotes racial biases; no one questions why a particular decision of promotion or performance review was made.
Please try to improve the culture and racial bias towards Asian people.

It was specifically for cost forecasting, and the hiring manager was looking for someone with experience in forecasting. How would you forecast the cost, and what factors will you take into account?
