Growing pains still, weak tech leadership
Growing pains still, weak tech leadership
Smart people, driven environment, very challenging.
Inconsistency: some leads are resting and vesting.
Some new people are political and will gain more power because they look for it.
Some old-timers are not suited to their role anymore, and the role outgrew them.
- Don't get political.
- Stop rewarding the opinionated engineers that have short success only to let other engineers clean the mess later.
