February 23, 2023
Pros: The company used to have some of the best engineers and line managers until more than 40 percent were cut.
Cons: There is tyrannical and ignorant executive leadership who can't be bothered to understand their business well enough to know how to lead it successfully. Minds change and reorgs happen far too frequently.
Direction to teams is poor to nonexistent. There is a clear interest in cutting costs by cutting staff and outsourcing.
