Wayyy too many meetings and huddles and "this is the best company" propaganda. They make a lot of noise to distract people from the low pay, crap hours, and the lack of job security. You could perform your job exactly as you're supposed to, but if you get bad reviews by customers who are angry at company policies, you can and will be fired. No job security. I've seen way too many good employees fired - whose supervisors even said they handled their calls/emails exactly as they were supposed to but shrugged it off as "the numbers are what the higher-ups look at." Doctor's notes do not excuse absences, so I have seen people fired after car wrecks, bouts with illnesses such as pneumonia, and even early childbirth. I found another job and got out of there ASAP.

Upward mobility is reserved for people with no technical skills but great at cronyism Product team in the most important non payment group is a joke, but unfortunately they have ears of Directors and higher ups. Since there is no "real" interactive session with engineers, management has no clue of reality and is mis guided by the product team. Product teams ends up getting all the credit / promotions for the work done by engineering team. This is depressing and sad. Very traditional management style. "Yes Sir / Madam" is most welcome. If there is any dis agreement or alternate view points, ideas are not fought, people who brought them up will be under the bus. Frequent re-orgs and lack of accountability at management level is just annoying. Huge mistakes by management are simply ignored / rewarded. Engineers pay the price almost always by putting in long hours and weekends to cover up for the mistakes done by management.
