Mediocre management ruins work and culture

Solutions architect

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic technology, platform, top executive team, vision, and people /experts (engineers, architects, etc.).

Cons

I believe that, unfortunately, the bad, mediocre managers, the unnecessary micro-management taking so much time away from the important core work to do with customers, the bad aspects of AWS culture sweeping through, managers displaying backstabbing, unfair, contrary-to-company's-values and contrary-to-work-ethics and principles behavior, unchecked lies and retaliatory practices, incompetence and Dunning-Kruger effect in new Managers and Directors, are ruining the SAs work, our great work for our customers and the company's culture.

Pros

Exciting high growth industry. Product is amazing. Exposure to modern data stack and tools.

Cons

Team culture is inconsistent and heavily dependent on who you work with. Presence of toxic and backstabbing behaviour that undermines trust and collaboration. Recent hires are not as impressive.
