A doubt to upper management - Project Manager Arlo Technologies Employee Review

- The company's stock price has fallen around 80% over the past year, and the company's future is unstable. Even though it has received some partnership contract from the market and increased its pipeline, the company's stock price is yet to improve since there was neither a guarantee of revenue for Arlo, nor a promise of profitability. - Company is unable to retain technical employee, and there is a high employee churn. This leads to job mapping by availability than based on best fit and talent. This becomes a vicious circle especially in one of the team. The manager of this department does not abide by the Scrum development/agile process and it is quite hard to work with her. She also often holds unproductive lengthy meetings with her employees or colleagues. The manager herself has no technical background, but likes to over-manage how the engineers coding. This has impacted employee performance and let to the turnover rate of this team to be extremely high. Capable employees in the team were warned not to share the information with other team members so they feel difficult to work with her but upper management is quite tolerant of her.
