Culture is being eroded by politics and layers of less than effective directors and VPs. Most of the good technical directors have left the company leaving behind technical leaders who are more political motivated than technically savvy.

First/second level management ( in QA ) have zero understanding of the product and very poor at evaluating technical talent. They rely on Sr technical people from other to provide the evaluation and this forces engineers to go to forum and meetings there shouldn't be going there by wasting a lot of time creating visibility instead of doing real work. QA product knowledge across the board is very much lagging. VP's say quality is more important but they refuse to invest in good QA talent. Dev to QA ratio is very low and even senior QA talent in this company is very less (The difference between Total MTS levels is DEV and QA is too high)
