Compensation is great for the Montreal area. You can seriously coast.

Everything has become terrible in the last two years.

Middle management is just bloat. The more you try to improve things, the more problems you will have from others. Everybody is spending all their time justifying their job and the need for their direct reports.

Every group town hall boils down to: "Look how great our team is, please make sure you don't cut our group, while our stocks vest."

Pick just a few things. Do them. Stop talking about those things, just freaking do them. Reduce the management chain. Stop the outcome-based product management and the endless roadmaps. Just make sure that you have tech leads that can do tech and direct them to do quality foundation work, not demos and proofs-of-concept. I went through 5 bosses in 2 years. The good ones just resigned and left. The bad ones are still explaining why they're great and what we should do, only to other teams.
