Good WLB, but the overall talent pool is not great

Pros

Good work-life balance. Decent pay. Company has an employee-first policy.

Cons

The engineering talent pool is not great.

Lot of people are not doing any actual work.

There's an increasing pressure to build GenAI solutions, and in the rush to impress their leaders, many employees are losing sight of the actual business problems that need solving.

Advice to Management

For GenAI initiatives, it's more effective to form a couple of dedicated tiger teams focused on solving real business problems.

These teams can then share their learnings with others, enabling scalable growth, rather than pushing everyone to work on GenAI without clear direction.
