The Weak leadership are not able to keep capable employees.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

CEO and company is generous enough to give adequate compensations

Cons

Poor management skills and technical capabilities on customer support. Support Manager are not technical but pretended to know everything . Can only manage junior engineers who are from integration and testing background. Lack of full understanding of data flow to solve problems . The credit of easy fixes is taken and difficult one is thrown to who actually is to be blamed. A lot of the fixes for customer only cover the surface fix. No one is able and willing to solve the root problem.
