      Autonomy lost to a top-down culture

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Used to have lots of autonomy and transparency.

      Cons

      The culture has become very top down driven. Decisions are forced upon team members with no explanation or discussion and set with deadlines that are impossible to hit.
