Disorganized, constantly changing goals
Disorganized, constantly changing goals
The people on my team are fantastic engineers who put in more than their share of work.
Management can't decide what we should be working on or how we should be organized.
We keep going through reorgs and losing/hiring managers. The people stepping in to keep things running aren't getting recognized or promoted, and are getting burned out.
Employee ratings and promotions are reduced because of irrelevant bureaucratic barriers that hurt everyone.
You need to work on giving your good workers a reason to stay with the company. That means investing in them, recognizing them when they go above and beyond, reducing upper management politics, and getting rid of the managers that are pulling people down.

The role was for a React developer. The interview enforced coding in vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. After a while coding in React, your vanilla JavaScript coding skills fade, making you panic as if you don't know anything.

Discussions with recruiters were about the only positive part of this process. Everyone from management/directors to the engineers was very rude. I would not have worked here even if I had received an offer.
