People with good connections to management more likely get a higher salary rise. - Some senior engineers have high salary but no guidance on juniors, even juniors do the most work. Sometimes have to fighting for hours. - Hard to keep life work balance, always deadlines and anything not related to work like meetings, trainings have to use own time. - Low salary for intermediate engineers compared to competitors, high expectations from managers. - Senior engineers always too busy to guide or talk to juniors.
