Great engineers, poor management, and low comp
There are many bright engineers who care a lot about the tech that they build. Nice colleagues in general.
Many inexperienced engineering managers are not interested in coaching engineers with their career growth. Toxic positivity is rewarded. Low compensation and benefits are being taken away. This has been brought up in every single town hall and all-hands meeting, and even spawned a Slack channel asking for compensation to be reviewed. Engineers love the work they do at Spotify, but passion doesn't pay the bills. Ultimately, it erodes your spirit when you realize that you are so underpaid.
