Adds no real value to your experience - Engineering Tech/Manager C2FO Employee Review

These might seem like cons but are actually pros when you compare with other orgs: 1. You spend 12–13 hours in meetings on the same subject. If you do your work once properly, you save a lot of time on prep, waiting for your turn and repeating the same thing over and over. 2. Leadership asks you to do a lot of admin work despite having a TPM team. Again, a lot of time goes into repetitive work and meetings — be efficient once and you can chill for the day or actually work on your skillset. 3. People here love to prove themselves right. Many meetings are just back-door escalations disguised as discussions. These retro sessions basically give you time to sit back, relax and read on the side. 4. Navigating politics here prepares you for elections or any future office politics. With some observation and practice, you’ll master the art of diplomacy (and duplicity). 5. Work closely with leadership and you’ll learn the art of delegation from seasoned practitioners. Everything here is bottom-up — direction, metrics, everything. Do the same with your team and you’ll free up plenty of time for yourself. 6. Leadership leads by example — you’ll learn how to fake empathy with your team. This brand of pragmatism is a must-have in IT today. 7. Frequent layoffs will keep you on your toes and permanently motivated to keep working on your skillset. Who needs OKRs when you have got existential dread? …I could write more, but I’m tired—and unfortunately, I have no one to delegate this task to. Better save the rest for my layoff memoir.
