It feels great when you leave.

Managers are "sweatshopping" engineers, trying to compete not with the marketplace, but instead with other groups doing the same exact thing. What a huge waste.

Being forced to work late and weekends is awful. If you do manage to get your own work done during "normal" hours, you still have to come in on weekends "for the team." Apparently, you don't have enough to do if you are getting your job done during the week.

After all that, no raise and no bonuses for me. So, I left.

I got two offers in three days elsewhere and have never been happier.

Do your jobs and fire half the directors.

Stop the waste of time racing teams against each other.

And stop sweatshopping. Only the H1Bs are your feudal serfs.
