Minpunten
Politics are infused into every decision and interaction within the company. There's rampant favoritism and bias when making any decision - be it technical or otherwise. The 'transparency' buzzword is alive and well with leadership only communicating the positive notes and dodging hard questions. New hires are provided more opportunities and better compensation than existing employees despite a 'market adjustment' only a few months ago. Compounding this is the herculean task of getting someone promoted: lengthy justifications (5+ pages), a policy of forcing an individual to work in the desired role for 6+ months without title or compensation to match, constantly shifting role definitions, no training to help available, etc. All of this has driven away the vast majority of long-tenured individuals and left a huge knowledge vacuum. Additionally, the day-to-day practices within engineering have become dramatically worse since new leadership. A cowboy culture has emerged as the dominant force with individuals deploying to production straight from their local machines at all hours of the day. This often will break production and cause others to get woken in the middle of the night by alerts. Incidents are never declared to avoid the negative optics associated so the 'bad apples' keep slinging their code. Peer reviews are no longer mandatory and testing is completely absent as we favor 'speed'.
