Good Work, Bad Management
Good Work, Bad Management
Easy to get things done with some initiative.
Good for self-starters.
Little to no interference from management before 2024.
Can avoid politics as an IC not trying to uplevel.
Supportive and helpful colleagues.
- Below-average compensation compared to industry leaders.
- TC is limited by stock price.
- Minimal opportunities for career development.
- Subpar engineering managers.
- Poor direction from middle management.
- Excessive time wasted on frequent planning and re-planning.
Stop planning and changing priorities, re-organizing, and then needing to re-plan everything because the shapes of teams have changed.
