(Omitting title and location to avoid any possibility of being identified. Listed location is fake.) Toxic and soul-crushing. Stressful and unpredictable hours. Work is often not technically interesting. It’s generally about appeasing the person in a convo with the most political weight. It’s not about problem solving. It’s toxic competition, especially between software engineering teams. It’s all political discourse. If you love cutthroat corporate politics, this is the place for you. If you care more about the people and the work, you will hate it. Extremely sexist. If you are a woman, do not work in engineering at this company. After working here, I 100% see why so many women leave tech. Years ago when I started, I just loved the challenge of the work. I thought as long as I worked hard, I would be ok. I though I might have to work a bit harder as a woman, but “I could handle it.” Thing is, it doesn’t work that way. It’s a no win situation. If you aren’t vocal enough, then you aren’t contributing enough to the direction. If you are professionally vocal, you are a threat. Men get away with wildly hostile behavior. I mean full on screaming. When they do this, they are passionate. I’ve seen it so many times in different scenarios. When women raise a valid concern in a professional way, “they’re causing trouble.” There are frequent reorgs. Every single time, I start at square -5 and my peers start at square 10. Over time, I earn respect, than a reorg happens and I start back all over again. Past accomplishments don’t matter. There’s so much political competition among middle/upper management that leaders undermine other groups to gain more resources. Leaders don’t trust the judgment of their predecessors or peers, so you always have to re-earn their trust. It also causes project ownership chaos because leadership failed to take it into consideration over the many reorgs. You can’t trust what leadership says. They tell you whatever story frames the parts they can’t hide in the best light.

- between 2019-2022 hired too many higher-ups from Microsoft and fintech; lots of old-fashioned corporate attitudes, conflict seekers, control freaks, bad listeners, and setting back many programs by 6-24 months because they want everything 'agile', including operations, and following every single C-level fad instead of letting people fly - product is java- and javascript-centric; c'mon, it's a dead end, down the line - too big to be acquired, too small to matter long time
