BioFire Diagnostics reviews about "manager"

Some of the managers have no previous management experience and it shows.

Software Engineers are leaving at a crazy rate. Everyone who has left attributes low pay, lack of leadership, no work from home will be offered, poor management communication, and no room for growth. Management doesn't seem to care about this and will not communicate about people leaving. If you want to have a fulfilling software engineering career, this isn't the place (anymore). Your wage will be stagnant, you wont have anyone to mentor your, and you will never talk with your manager. It seems like some managers always try and find something negative to say about you in your yearly 'career development plan' and will use that as an excuse for low raises. Almost everyone under a manager came out of their yearly 'talk' very demotivated. I am not sure how many of these are due to management or HR. Both seem to be a problem.

managers play favorites, they could be better

If you get put on a team you don't like, you will most likely be stuck there for years. In the last few years, the teams have become very project manager-heavy. I know we need PMs and they are very useful, but the culture is shifting to where actual managers will ONLY talk to the Project Managers, who are often not that aligned with the rest of the team. This has been bringing morale down for a lot of software engineers who are actually leading the teams and making software engineers feel like there is little real growth opportunity, other than slapping a new number behind their title. It seems like recently marketing has decided they know the products more than engineers, and their designs and how to actually do the work is being forced onto software engineers. This has broken multiple systems across the company. I think this has to do a lot with the comment above about management's relationship with project managers.

Large project teams increase complexity unnecessarily

There are very little options for remote work. With the world returning to hybrid schedules, it didn't seem like management was very open to continuing to work remotely for those who are able.
