Engineering Manager • Current Employee
September 29, 2022
Pros: Got a workforce IAM product that works.
Benefits are decent.
Cons: Product lacks strategy for growth and scale.
Scale and infra is a challenge for the product. They just talk about microservices but have no plans.
Lot of churn at every level.
Management can improve mid-level management styles. They are very removed from what's happening on the ground and carried by what they hear from peer leaders, without working with their direct teams.
