- Management has a very insular culture, it feels very much like an us vs them situation and not a #oneteam situation.
- Better engineers with higher mobility leave whilst less mobile engineers stay leading to a worsening engineering culture over time
- No focus on good engineering in recent years, only cost cutting #keto
- Tried to draw focus to the value of benefits like the free lunch/breakfast when discussing salary adjustments at end of year reviews.. then went on to cut the lunch budget a few months later
- Trying to drive a performance culture but the pay doesn't match
- Everything is urgent, when you deliver it under pressure it turns out well maybe it wasn't that important after all
- Management lacks professionalism
- When the current CTO came in he dissolved the developer platform team.. what does that say about the value the company puts on good engineering?
- Lack of quality, most teams don't have products which interface with the outside world so there's no pressure on them to deliver quality, only the #pacematters
- Management values time in the office above real performance
- High attrition in general
- Glassdoor review score fell from 4.6 to below 3 over a period of months a couple of years ago, it's only picked up recently because new joiners were heavily encouraged to leave good reviews
