Management does not listen to the Product Managers, Developers or Operations stakeholders on issues in the system that need to be fixed. Then, when a major incident occurs they want to retro it and place blame on the development teams instead of owning their previous decisions. You're in good graces if, and only if, your direct manager likes you or doesn’t feel threatened by your experience and knowledge. Your job performance, ability or industry knowledge are irrelevant because if your manager does not like you, they will twist anything to be your fault and find ways to block you from any move you request. HR is not helpful and sends you in directions to speak with skip level management just to keep you out of their office hours. The bullying environment leads PMs and other development team members to low morale, impacting their mental health. Stay clear of this company if you value honesty, integrity and respect for others. They push for DEIA initiatives but half of the managers stumble over the words in team meetings and do not even know or believe in DEIA. Either train your managers properly to work with non-white, non-cisgender individuals and how to discuss key topics…or don’t hire anymore. It causes more pain and discomfort sitting listening to white leaders preach the importance of DEIA when they cannot even say the word racism or address someone by their proper pronouns, even after being told multiple times and they just laugh it off.
