Boring, low morale, low pay, no challenges
- Salary is okay.
- People are nice enough.
- Good work/life balance.
- very boring
- no challenges at work
- nobody cares about engineering excellence
- if you try to change anything, people will try to stop you and say all the reasons why things are the way they are
- leadership is overpaid; they do absolutely nothing
- Jack does nothing but loves Bitcoin
- Eng tools and frameworks are ancient, and if you try to change things, people will tell you "it will never happen" and try to stop you
- remote is good for your personal life, but your career growth and engineering skills will completely stagnate
- Fire most of Core.
- Fire Core+1's.
- Fire Core+2's.
- Elevate the 10x engineers and let them make their own roadmaps.
- Make product management sit under engineering, instead of the other way around. Smartest engineers >>> "good" PM's.
