good culture is fading away

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunity to work on interesting and challenging problems. Intellectually stimulating environment. Great perks and shuttle rides make life more efficient. Company is in a good spot in a large market. The CEO has great visions.

Cons

The good, old "open and focusing on impact" culture is fading away. Senior level engineers more and more often have to fight against each other for projects or reinvent the wheels for the sake of fulfilling requirements vs. real technical/business needs. Managers brought in through nepotism have little to none people management experience and skills and brought in negative impact by playing politics. There is no clear mechanism in place to stop these viruses from spreading.
