Managers are non-technical. Be ready to get into a PIP if you are not great at manager's bootlicking. Managers are egoistic, non-technical, and have a career-ruining attitude. Once ratings are out, they mandatorily have to give low ratings to a few people, even if they work like donkeys, because they are straightforward with the manager. My manager is non-technical, and she doesn't even know the functional aspect of the module of the product she has a team for. There are unnecessary, unrealistic, and abnormal inputs in meetings just to state that they are present. Favouritism is at its height; only the favorite person gets good ratings, promotions, and other appreciation, causing demotivation amongst the team. Trust me, if your manager is non-tech, it will surely cause you PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder). Higher chances to get into a PIP if you oppose managers or put forth your suggestions, at least resulting in negative ratings and no work.

Hire technical managers, keeping their technical skill set aligned with the team they handle.

Non-tech managers are not only a financial burden to the company but they also create a toxic culture. In the same budget, you will also get technical development managers.

HR should schedule anonymous skip levels from time to time to get manager feedback.

Take it or leave it.
