Work-life balance

Flexible working hours

Engineering standards are low, but management believes otherwise.

Engineers are mere code monkeys with no chance to explore their ideas.

Work is neither high-tech nor feats of engineering.

Nothing much to learn for strong engineers, as there aren't many senior engineers or they're too risk-averse to try out new technologies.

Limited career growth as an individual contributor.

Information is heavily guarded, and teams are very siloed.

There's a lack of direction, and everyone's doing their own stuff.

Lots of upper management politics.

Learn to trust your people and share information freely.

Learn to recognize the real talents and make good use of them; do something about the people that are not carrying their weight.

Focus. Focus on things that truly matter and stick to your values.
