Where do I start ...
- Management is preaching about culture and values, but in reality it is very different in Fort Worth branch.
- Micromanagement, to the point of tyranny.
- Intolerance to critique or different opinions, no matter how valid they are.
- Focus on "shiny" and "flashy" projects, while real business issues are swept under the rug.
- Several legacy projects hangs there for years, taking a lot of efforts to support and maintain, and developers are not allowed to spend time to upgrade/migrate those. Oh, and time tracking is getting very strict.
- if you are unlucky to displease the management, you will get stuck with one of those old technology projects in the support mode without a chance to get out
- At the beginning of each year a lot of talks about career development and skills advancement, but then NOTHING is done, - no mentoring, no coaching, and questions about that are considered as bad attitude and whining.
- if you voice your own opinion, you will be singled out, isolated and placed into the environment so you will quit eventually.
CONs got much worse in the last year or so, management seems to be not able to actually manage people, so they trying to "govern" them ... so much for the "cutting edge technology google wanna-be company"
