Pros
  • Peers who are amazing to work with and more talented and smart than the leadership
  • Good pay
Cons
  • Toxic Managers
  • Manager doesn't care about your mental health, and only cares about you being present in lots of meetings and saying something even though you don't have to.
  • Teams can perform great without managers.
  • Engineers who are not visible find their efforts go as a Jira story in the past, and they lack motivation from the leadership to do better.
Advice to Management

Get rid of managers who add a lot of stress to the engineers. Allow the engineers to do their best with a mix of motivation and applause.
