Engineering is a sinking boat right now ⛵
Pros
- Overall work environment stills "OK", despite recent degrading in work experience. - Nice team members - Generous PTO policy (....so far)
Cons
- Sometimes I wonder if being unemployed would be a better choice than working here. - IMO They're actively trying hard to make you quit and morale is down across engineering teams - Senior leadership and engineers are moving out and looking for other jobs - Multiple layers of bureaucracy if you want to get a PR done. A 2 days of actual work can easily become 1-2 months. It seems like working for a slow bank. - Productivity squeeze mode: They're changing performance frameworks every couple of months: Now you'll have to keep track of everything you're doing to justify your work (instead of actually being focused in... you know, working?). This can potentially create an hostile competitive environment between your team long term. The message is clear: Engineers (especially highly paid ones) are not welcome anymore. This company will end up with team full of devs who have no other choice and are ok with a 30k/yr + a few raspberries salary.
