- Struggles a lot with legacy codebase, and management seems to focus more on satisfying the customer with new features than addressing the outdated architecture.
- Promotion and leveling requirements are absurd. An engineer has to act at the next level for a year (could have changed recently though) before actually being promoted to the next level. Why should someone continuously act beyond their job description for a chance at a promotion to make that their official responsibility?
- Touch and go on a per-team basis, but documentation tends to be lacking so ramp-up can be very rough. Engineers operate on a lot of tribal knowledge and person-to-person knowledge transfer.
