Declining engineering culture, poor leadership - Staff Software Engineer LinkedIn Employee Review

The engineering culture is on a steep decline. There is forced stack ranking for performance reviews that's naively focused on short term impact. Engineering leadership (VPs specifically) is terrible and holds no accountability for themselves, instead trying to pass down the accountability to others lower in their reporting chain. They are unable to push back on product initiatives and instead want ICs to be blamed for not pushing back on initiatives we don't believe in. Terribly inefficient way to do things. WLB is declining because of all this, and burnout across orgs is on the rise. Multiple high performers are unhappy and have already left or are in the middle of plans to.
