Not enough leadership in leadership
Not enough leadership in leadership
Great engineering staff. Interesting problems to solve. Diverse tech stack and teams. Some flexibility to move between teams.
Leadership has bought into the AI hype train. Corp speak is endemic, and leadership is afraid of saying anything useful because the company leaks like a sieve. Commitments don't actually mean anything, and job security is temporary at best. Taking responsibility is entirely a PR move.
Don't make your staff pay for executive decisions. Let go of people who consistently bet on the wrong horse rather than laying off strong engineers and eroding company culture while preaching respect. "Googliness" has lost all meaning.
