- Time entry is strict and tightly integrated with company culture
- Leadership views employees as numbers, don't seem to care much about individuals or mental health. Leadership considered it a success to have "forced out" several strong employees who were upset with recent changes
- Company demographics are not very diverse
- Leadership moves slow
- Managers are poorly trained and inexperienced, yet overworked
- Agile implementation was bad, resulting in a software development process that hurts both the company and clients
- Company views any training or learning as off-hours opportunities and won't invest in the growth of its employees
- Leadership believes employees should be working 45-50 hours per week. Work-life balance is becoming less important every day
Developer Specific
- Lack of exposure to new technologies
- Every task is timed and the estimation process is bad, often resulting in poor code being written to hit deadlines and budget
- No code review process, very little technical accountability. Seniors and Leads have typically been with Adage since college and don't have much exposure to industry best practices
