Good Tech, Political Management
Comp is good, benefits are too. There are quite a few teams with good setups, supportive managers, and interesting challenges to tackle. The tech stack is modern, architectures are broadly sensible, and teams still have the independence in picking the right tools for the job.
Fewer and fewer true leaders.
Some managers are only in it for the power.
Favouritism and vanity projects are here.
Senior management is so political; if that's not your thing, you'll hate it quickly.
Workload is not shared equally across teams.
Judge managers on the technical growth of their reports, the quality of their reviews, and the eNPS of those they lead, rather than just product delivery.
