Great engineers, management needs improvement
- The problem statements that the engineering teams work on are exciting.
- The engineers who work on those problems are brilliant.
- As an engineer, the product itself is useful and interesting, and it has a lot of scope.
- Management doesn't know what's needed in a team or for a project.
- Leadership seems to be working on a whim, and long, late-night meetings are the norm. Things seem more reactive than proactive.
Figure out what is needed in a team, and then hire accordingly. Do not hire people according to the likes and dislikes of the interview panel and then try to figure out what is required. Oh, and the interview panel itself needs to be in sync with what is needed from a hire.
