Cons

This place has changed massively in the last 3 years. It has been a downhill battle with bad leadership style and incompetent leaders across the board.

The new APEX performance management system makes people focus on their performance goals rather than creating a good product. It has become very toxic lately.

It's sad to see most of the good quality developers leaving one after another, leaving most teams with very little SME knowledge and, in some cases, very incompetent people whose main aim is to look good on paper and meet their APEX goal.

Company outlook looks very poor. It is very slow to release new features, and years of customer requests are not answered just because Leadership can focus on random things associated with imaginary numbers.

Advice to Management

Why do you believe you needed a tool like APEX in the first place? Isn't it because you lost the quality people within the company? How will a tool change that?
