There were none at all, as all the pros are gone.

Extremely disappointed with the leadership culture and promotion practices in this organization. During my tenure, I witnessed experienced and capable engineering leaders struggle under excessive pressure and a lack of organizational support. One such example was my Engineering Manager, who had spent many years with the company and was widely respected for his technical expertise, leadership, and contribution to engineering teams. Despite his experience and commitment, the environment eventually led him to leave the organization. What made the situation even worse was the attitude displayed by certain managers during this period. Rather than showing professionalism and respect, some individuals used my manager's departure as an opportunity to make sarcastic remarks and taunt team members by repeatedly reminding us that "your manager is leaving anyway." Such behavior was highly unprofessional and created an even more toxic work environment for the team.

What is even more concerning is the promotion culture. There are managers who transitioned from QA backgrounds into Development Manager roles and continue to receive promotions year after year. From an employee's perspective, these promotions often appear to be driven more by political alignment and visibility with senior leadership than by strong technical capabilities, engineering expertise, or proven managerial effectiveness. The company frequently promotes the idea of meritocracy, but the reality often feels different. Employees who focus on delivering results and building strong engineering teams can find themselves overlooked, while those who are better at navigating organizational politics continue to advance. Think carefully before joining this organization. If you value a culture that consistently rewards technical excellence, strong leadership, and merit-based growth, your experience here may not meet expectations.

Resign of upper management especially all the so called educated directors of tech.
