Not a good place to start your career
Not a good place to start your career
- Some perks are nice.
- The company name has an aura of innovation (not always rightly so).
-
Unqualified people are chosen for positions they are unqualified to fill, due to company politics (friends of the right people).
-
Lots of pointless meetings consume a lot of time (at least 2 hours a day, and I believe the average is about 4, while almost every week I have one day that is entirely meetings) that could have been used to work.
-
The technological stack is very outdated, and a lot of the platforms and tools being used in the company are irrelevant almost anywhere else.
-
Poor knowledge retention.
- Review workers' functions yourself (or send someone unbiased to do so), and don't let friends review friends.
- Cut meetings short and summon only the most relevant.
- Try to replace some of the stack slowly.
- Build a knowledge retention program.
