  • Roles are mostly determined by politics, not necessarily by skills.
  • Pay is not as competitive.
  • Little growth opportunities.
  • Leadership decisions.
  • Constant lay-offs.
  • Work-life balance; sometimes one person maintains more than one project.
Advice to Management

Focus on skills and reward people who actually do the work, not the ones who just like to talk a lot. Listen to your employees, not the managers.
