having a paying job is better than nothing at all
having a paying job is better than nothing at all
I used to have free meals, which was convenient.
There were many extremely smart people in the company.
I enjoyed working with intelligent and knowledgeable people.
There were many tools available.
- low salary
- many managers are technically competent but lack management experience or even basic people skills.
- while there are good managers, there are also extremely bad managers who obviously favor certain engineers over others and do not show respect to everyone equally.
- company culture is too asian -- cases of people speaking in their native language in meetings where other english-only speakers are present. -- working long hours sometimes are not appreciated as putting extra effort but accepted as normal and expected.
Give us the processing power and storage space that we need to do our job.
Meeting crazy deadlines is hard enough, and there is no need to make it more difficult with unnecessary obstacles and problems.
