Nice campus. Smart, capable engineers. Mature technical stack.

This place used to be a highly sought-after employer. Employees were proud to work here, encouraged to architect sound code, and collaborate on proper solutions to achieve success.

Now there is so much pressure on velocity that whoever can hack code the fastest gets rewarded. New features and offers are poorly vetted, rushed through to delivery, and produce disappointing outcomes.

The stack ranking policy that has been implemented recently will surely finish off the good culture and positive morale here.

After listening to the CEO and leadership brag about record company performance this year, we now get to see more terminations and the lowest RSU grants in years.

Using hollow metrics to measure an engineer’s worth will not keep the best talent around.

You can only execute on the stack ranking termination policy so many times before you start cutting into your useful engineers. Very short-sighted, considering how long it takes a new hire to become capable in this ecosystem.

Turn this around before you sour this company’s reputation further.
