Managers don't understand their jobs
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
September 19, 2023
Pros: Good engineers to work with.
Cons: Managers (especially line managers) don't understand what their job is. It looks like a classic case of software engineers promoted to managerial roles without training. I've heard that quite a few people left because of bad managers. (Referring to Bangalore Arista here)
