For a company that does marketing, creativity was lacking amongst the engineers I worked with. People were more concerned about trying to do something the easy way than getting it right for scale or reliability or to look into the future. Amongst all the mediocrity, there are actually people that get laid off every couple of quarters by executive management.. either to keep the numbers good for investors or even for bad performance. Speaks volumes when senior management takes the easy way out of cutting people under bad conditions.
