Disappointing experience
Disappointing experience
- Good work life balance
- Good pay
- Good people to work with
Terrible management
Far too much politics for a buy side firm
Managers continuously play the blame game with each other and engineers become cannon fodder
Layoffs of people within a few months of hiring them is an example of the dysfunction of this place
Have a direct conversation with your engineers, because the middle management may not be giving you the right picture.
