Lack of growth opportunities
Lack of growth opportunities
- Smart people
- Competitive salaries (above average but nowhere close to top companies)
- Work-life balance is usually on the good side
No growth in compensation or role at all. Due to low attrition, growth has become limited, and it has been clearly conveyed to employees.
Work from home is going away soon, snatching flexibility from people.
- Allow people needed flexibility (work from home).
- Find ways for people to feel that they are growing. If compensation cannot increase, at least let them grow in their role (maybe by decoupling roles and compensation bands). If that sounds like a bad idea, maybe ask employees about it through surveys.

The interview itself was okay. There were two engineers; they were supportive and nice. However, I was ghosted after the first round of the tech interview. I wrote a few emails, but there was no response.

Fairly decent interview. Interviewers were nice and helpful, and everything went almost well. I didn't get an offer, but that's not the problem. I at least expected a little context on why, besides them moving to a better candidate. I followed up wit
