- Awful cross team collaboration. Given everyone is fighting for time, it can be very difficult when you need something from another team.
- Often work 60+ hr weeks, with no end in sight. Even on days off, it’s hard to truly relax when you are always “behind”
- In addition to demanding timelines, leadership is constantly introducing more red tape to get your work done
- As an engineer, I’ll often spend far more time in meetings than writing code or designing features
- You will inevitably miss deadlines due to lack of time, and leadership’s solution is to introduce more red tape and meetings to “correct” the behavior, when the underlying problem is actually too many meetings and red tape
