Toxic, low maturity environment with ancient technology stack - Principal Engineer Wells Fargo Employee Review

- STRICT in-office expectations with conflicting messaging. - Low merit increases. Internal mobility will limit ambitious engineers - Bad work-life balance. “It’s technology, what did you expect” unspoken expectations of 50+ hr weeks - Constant bi-weekly layoffs. Incredibly low morale which leads to a me-first culture. - Manager-based quotas for performance reviews. Have a high performing group? Nope x% are needs improvement… tough. - No management accountability. All of us in technology know the revolving door at the top… failure leads to new opportunities for the well connected! - Internal jobs are posted for hiring managers favorite people. They’re mostly posted for the illusion. - Fewer doers more directors and juniors. The middle and senior engineers are selectively being displaced for juniors and international employees leading to burn out. - High control, low trust environment leads to very immature teams with constant fire drills
