Tenable

The people you work with are nice. The pay is good. The insurance is EXCELLENT.

Projects can and will change at a moment's notice. You might be on a team and a project one month to see a quick shift in priorities without notice, and then again a short time later. There is a lack of proper onboarding, leaving new employees feeling like they have been thrown in the deep end. Couple that with my prior complaint, and only the most senior engineers truly have a leg up. Which brings me to a lack of a knowledge-sharing culture. Asking questions of teammates is not encouraged at all. When questions are asked, from the very basic to the very niche product questions that only a long-time engineer would know, this will be reported as negative feedback at a later date. Managers are not very knowledgeable in tech areas and are too business-oriented. This whole thing creates a loop of employees who are undertrained and cannot ask questions or are afraid to for fear of negative feedback, who are then forced to create sub-par work and get increasingly negative feedback for it.

Onboard and train employees with an eye for long-term employment.

Encourage knowledge sharing.

Reduce and get rid of negative management practices (such as 1:1 meetings that are just employee tear-down sessions).
