Not be best place to be
Not be best place to be
Years ago, with previous CTOs, teams had flexibility and autonomy to work on their ways, hierarchy was not too vertical, and it was a pretty nice place to be.
Since new CTO joined, the strategy also changed. Now they have dramatically increased the number of managers (specially EMs), along with a lot of juniors and inexperienced developers. That translates on having very rigid processes (thanks to the big layer of managers and heads) for the juniors and new joiners.
On the other hand, senior/staff devs have barely any chance to make decisions and move forward things by themselfs, so they're leaving the company.
