Don't swim in this ocean
Remote work is the ultimate perk.
It pays above market for a reason.
Engineering is totally dysfunctional team. Directors/Managers focused on upwards reporting & status updates & serious turf wars. Everything has an "angle".
"Fun culture" is having a video on your presentation.
Many facilitators, not many people actually doing work.
Don't bother bringing new ideas to the table. They will only be heard if coming from a select group of old-timers.
More technical leadership, less smoke & mirrors.
Stop referring to people as 'resources'.
Understand that good people can find a job anywhere, you need us more than we need you ;)
