1. People who work now just maintainers of the product no much innovation happening.
2. Managers are spineless and constantly over commit and pressuring the developers.
3. Managers just blame the upper management and just always say "yes" and never push back.
4. They track PR counts and lines of code push in the name of "metrics" and "trying to improve productivity". Managers actually ask devs about less lines of code. Organisations have to reward devs when they push less lines of code making the code base efficient and faster, not the other way around.
5. HR and management meetings take feedback from engineers on these issues pretending to fix them, but no one does. It's all a gimmick and a show.
6. A lot of engineers have poor work life balance and work weekends.
7. NO HIKES last year.
8. They don't give full bonus and broadly say that the organisation didn't meet it's targets. But almost all engineers deliver in a timely manner.
9. Lot of engineers and PMs are laid off discretely in the name of "restructuring".
10. Management just uses a lot of corporate language to brush off concerns.
11. People in the upper management have no idea how tech works and innovation is not encouraged and there is no investment in individual engineers. They just expect you to start delivering almost as soon as you join and you'll be held accountable on pointless metrics.
12. Company is just too focused of selling the product to make money instead of making the product better and investing in engineering which will attract customers.
13. Attrition rate is high, almost everyone is trying to leave. This leaves a big knowledge gap.
