DIRECTV: A lot of potential, poor leadership
DIRECTV: A lot of potential, poor leadership
Great products to work on.
Engineering culture isn't overbearing.
Employee perks are solid.
A lot of the most well-respected leadership has left. New engineering leadership is largely non-engineer heavy. A lot of the leadership is drinking the same Kool-Aid and keeps trying forcing odd development practices and blindfolded reorgs.
Listen to and seek out advice from your engineering talent. I've seen too many respected engineers leave the company in the past two years for this reason.
