Once a Great Place to Work, Now Driven by Micromanagement and Unfair Expectations
Once a Great Place to Work, Now Driven by Micromanagement and Unfair Expectations
- Talented and friendly colleagues
- Interesting projects and opportunities to learn
- I still enjoy aspects of the work and the mission of the company
- Increasingly micromanaged environment: your working hours are closely monitored, and even the number of PRs and tickets you complete is tracked obsessively - Promotions are no longer based on technical skills but instead depend on how well you present yourself or how good you are at internal politics - Recently, around 30 people were laid off with the justification that they “didn’t perform as expected,” which created a lot of fear and uncertainty among the remaining team - Morale is declining as the culture shifts from trust and autonomy to pressure and surveillance - Collaboration and team support are discouraged because activities like pairing or mentoring take time away from individual ticket delivery, which is penalized - There is a mandatory one-week on-call rotation with no additional compensation or benefits. Developers are expected to respond within 15 minutes at any hour, meaning they can’t travel, relax, enjoy time with family, go out, or even get a proper night’s sleep during that week. In practice, this amounts to 24/7 availability with no recognition or reward
