Company Struggling Under Ineffective Senior Management
Pros
1. Salary is good and on time. 2. Colleagues and team leads are good.
Cons
1. Higher management is extremely bad. 2. They promote a sense of job security by claiming layoffs never occur, yet employees are dismissed immediately when projects end. 3. The tech stack is outdated and offers little opportunity for skill development. Unstable internal libraries are heavily used and often cause recurring problems. 4. A few managers are ineffective, staying disengaged most of the time and then forcing developers to work overtime and weekends to meet deadlines. 5. Accountability is consistently shifted onto developers and QA, even when issues stem from project management. Employees are then expected to work overtime to fix mistakes they did not cause. 6. There is heavy micromanagement and little trust. Frequent update requests disrupt work, create delays, and those delays are again blamed on developers and QA. 7. Strategic failures at the top have unfairly resulted in the termination of employees who bear no responsibility for those decisions.
