Audible reviews

- the company's 5 new principles are contradictory to what the Tech team is in real life - nepotism, lying, weak backbone, personal politics, empire building, using the position of power to mute others, are the hallmark of Product and Tech Leaders. And it is getting worse -if you are a hardcore SDE or technical person, stay away -the most black-box tech organisation I have seen in my 13 years. Decisions are made hush-hush, even org changes are done quietly, the VPs prefer to stay in hiding so as to avoid any uncomfortable questions from SDEs, anyone who challenges the VPs or has the courage to ask difficult questions can quickly get into bad books and taught a lesson during performance review

Bad managers. Bad upper management. There is a lack of trust between employees and all levels of management. All-team meetings are hostile. Not transparent. Managers are not technically inclined. There's a clear segregation between employees and their managers. I didn't realize how bad this was until leaving to a different company. Company is slow to innovate. Claims to be agile, but not agile at all. Product managers are out to make a name for themselves so random bad features are made that take a very long time to complete. Promotions are purely political. I've seen promotions to toxic employees because they are also very vocal with management. The goal to getting promoted is befriending as many managers as you can. Force a promotion by saying you'll leave if you don't get one.
