      Toxic Feature Factory, blindly obsessed with AI

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The compensation is the only good part of this job.

      Cons

      - headlong rush to shoehorn AI into everything, despite protests and very good reasons to avoid this - cutthroat quarterly review cycle - required "stack ranking" -- 15% of us must get "low performance" - feature factory with no regard for tech debt or platform stability - individual bosses have an outsized influence on your ability to succeed and get promoted - middle management pushes foolish pet projects forward without regard to team capacity or best practices - morale is low, and management really doesn't care
