Paid Well to Go Down with a Sinking Ship

CEO approval

Pros

You are paid better than most other in the industry

Cons

Leadership high ups have no idea how to run a company ESPECIALLY the CEO. At this point I’m convinced it’s self sabotage because they actively choose to make the worst decisions quarter after quarter, FY after FY. They’ll also make sure you know how replaceable you are come March/April every year without hesitation no matter how well you perform.

Toxic team dynamics

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Decent work life balance, decent bonuses

Cons

Compensation: Salary is below the industry standard. Management: Middle management lacks technical depth, requiring engineers to not only design solutions but also spend significant time explaining them to non-technical stakeholders. Welfare: Minimal consideration for employee well-being during war time. Tech Stack: Relies on severely outdated technologies, hindering professional growth. Culture: Outsourced staff implements a cutthroat strategy toward permanent employees, creating high friction and distrust within the team.
