They do treat their employees very well. Time off is very flexible, and the overall culture is pretty chill. The campus is beautiful (if we ever get to go back #COVID).

They genuinely care about doing the right thing, treating their community and customers with care and respect.

Project management/leadership is pretty severely lacking. Often, you will get no requirements and then be asked for a date. Then, when you push back, they'll throw everything but the kitchen sink at you in terms of requirements. It's nearly impossible to get anything done.

My project is dealing with some older tech. There's not a lot of innovation going on, a result of business not being flexible or open to tech solutions.

Be more disciplined and thorough when determining the direction of projects. Please, please, please LISTEN to your developers!

Even the ones that aren't senior, they can have some VERY valuable experience that is vital to keeping projects heading in the right direction.

Also, the Peter Principle is strong here. There are a lot of folks (PMs and TPMs specifically) that moved into the role for the extra money, but they are awful at project management. Please do not promote people unless they are qualified. That would make projects run SO much more smoothly.
