Past Glory, Political Management
Past Glory, Political Management
It used to be a good place.
The time has passed, the company grew, and now it is just yet another corporation.
Leadership teams give political answers to important questions. Promotion through favoritism (a.k.a. drinking buddies) is there, in plain sight, and no one dares to say anything, fearing retaliation and subsequent loss of their Visas.
Well, what do you expect when the last two C-level executives were fired due to the same problem? Although, it is much harder to do anything against mid-level management, since the target on their backs is way smaller, even though this is the level that causes the most damage. Good developers, designers, and product owners are forced to leave, since they know their market value and can only waste so much.
This problem has been brought up over and over again through "all hands" like events. But again, empty and vague answers triumphed.
For the time being, there are much better places to work.

The process involved about four steps: 1. First, an interview with the recruiter about your background. 2. Second, an online algorithm test with four questions (on the HackerRank system). You have one hour to solve them and only need 70% to pass. T
