Complex technical problems to solve

Disjointed, oppressive, sycophantic leadership replacing nearly every c-suite, VP, and Director role.

Forced stack-ranking stifling IC morale, cooperation, and innovation. It feels a bit like the 90s and early 2000s, as if the company is setting itself up to enter its own “lost decade”.

This company used to be quite impressive—really functional with a safe and open culture that facilitated individual contributors to collaborate and focus on producing high quality work and solutions.

Now that culture and focus has been replaced by fear and forced stack ranking. Upper management only wants yes-men, and constructive feedback is quietly punished, so it feels like a waste of time to repeat advice that has already been ignored.
