Pros

Competent and dedicated engineers. Caring first line managers. People deeply care about achieving business results. They are not hesitant to help one another.

Cons

Engagement scores of US SCM engineering team were consistently one of the lowest within HelloTech. I believe its leadership is 100% responsible. It led as if this were IBM 20 years ago. It lacked modern leadership (and tech) knowledge, skills and experience to lead engineering in a new age growing company. It lacked product vision, effective communication and basic transparency. It promoted micromanagement, taking autonomy and ownership away from ICs. As a result, engineers often worked in silos, reinventing the wheels, time again. They were often left in the dark of changes in directions. They were sideline or pushed out if they disagreed with leadership.
