Work/life balance isn't bad most of the time, except you'll be spending your free time sweating the stack-ranked "performance review."

Cap1 believes in DEI. A lot. So there are quite a few people in high and other positions that are clearly unqualified for their roles.

This means management is honestly very much as bad as it gets (in my 25+ years' experience in the industry).

Adoring youngsters + stack ranking means rotation is very high; your team at any one time will be 50%+ new people.

Any engineer knows what that does for productivity.

I could say more but will cap it off there. It's really a horrible place for talented engineers - a sort of Purgatory.

For most of you, accept that you don't know what you're doing and seek another line of work.
