Quarterly earnings call drives a strong rhythm of the business that, unfortunately, results in management theater and short-term thinking.

- Legacy tech stacks - No learning and growth - No career progression - No merit based promotion, you need to complete n number of years to get promoted, no matter how well you have performed over the year - Frequently changing policies are no more employee centric (like shifting of quarterly bonus to annually) - Managers play game but you won't notice. They are well trained to manipulate employees in diplomatic way - Frequent layoffs (includes high performers too) - Plenty of leaves, but people are not taking (management should motivate to take off) - People showing off their work by being active on teams and git on weekends and during late nights (honestly, we don't have that much work) - Managers expecting (though not forcing) everyone to join late night meetings (even if we are optional)
