Compass Engineering Manager reviews

- Leadership, leadership, leadership. This doesn't exist here. - No tech centric culture: you are asked and forced to do things by stakeholders with no care of how it impacts system architecture and how that architecture should scale to benefit the business long term - Stakeholders and business groups spearhead toward a destination with no clear vision on the desired outcome or how they want said outcome to influence the business in a positive way to help the company move forward in a positive direction - The culture is very toxic. Please be prepared to protect yourself and make sure you are keeping note of your ownership items in your projects to defend yourself when someone inevitably throws you under the bus - Transparency (goes back to leadership): very clear that leadership does not align or even collectively prepare before they address the business in all hands. They will be very vague to ensure that there is ambiguity and plausible deniability

There are A LOT of documents. Everything is a document. It's great for enabling anyone to learn the motivation behind something or the plan but it makes for 1-2 hours a day of reading documents (depending on role). Oof. Tradeoffs.
