Pros

Work challenges are good. Flexible work timings, depending on the team/manager.

Cons

Bad time to get into the company. Promotions are rarely seen for Staff and above. Growth is stuck for these positions.

Middle management and senior management is as non-technical as it can get. Technical managers are hard to come by.

Unhealthy tracking and focus on process. Unrealistic goals on delivery causing undue pressure.

Any focus on innovation has taken a beating, with the daily churn in goals only causing more confusion towards day-to-day work.

Advice to Management

We need to relook at the middle management hires. Hiring clueless managers for technological positions would hurt in the long run.

Squeezing growth opportunities for engineers and making them time-bound isn't going to motivate engineers any better.

PR tracking goalposts have hit ridiculous levels. This is purely non-productive and causes undue friction between teams for deferring ownership.
