Ruthless, cut-throat and uncaring
Ruthless, cut-throat and uncaring
The pay is not too bad.
The company has a policy of getting rid of what they deem to be the lowest performers. In reality, this is a combination of a popularity contest and a little bit of luck.
If you take on a risky, potentially high-impact project and it doesn't pan out, you could be gone. If you don't agree with the right person, you could be gone.
Everything the engineers do is focused on how it will look in a performance review, resulting in corners cut everywhere.
Senior management doesn't care about psychological safety.
Diversity is no longer celebrated, leading to a monoculture.
