Great location in SF. Decent compensation. Office space is colorful and lively; not boring cubicles but fairly open. Lots of focus rooms and conference rooms to collaborate. Great marketing, customer service, and business and strategy teams.

Management talks about being innovative, but takes no action to actually enable it.

Technology stacks are dated and there is no desire to introduce new technologies.

There is a propensity to over-engineer solutions because of a fundamental lack of understanding of the technologies they do use, along with the seeming infinite amount of money available to fund such poor solutions.

Ideas not originating from management are shot down, which fosters a culture of heads down and work, and not asking questions.

Tech leads should actually lead by coding, and not by dictating and drawing theoretical architecture diagrams.

Stop saying that you are innovative and change the culture to actually foster innovation. This comes from the engineers and product managers who actually build the products, not based on seniority or managers/architects who haven't built anything meaningful in over a decade. Reduce the layers of bureaucracy and hire smart people not yes-(wo)men.
