Skywise Reviews

- Meetings and bureaucracy consume increasingly larger parts of work-day - Lots of old technology and little chance for ownership - Dead sea effect in engineering - Sketchy decisions by leadership - "Code Monkey" approach to software development - All decisions and designs made without feedback from implementation team. - Strict adherence to sprint plan with no room for deviation - Everything must be pre-approved, scheduled, and justified to someone with absolutely no idea of what you're talking about. - KPIs more important than real progress - Developers treated like identical, interchangeable machines that can work on and modify any part of a project at any time. - All of the above means you'll never know how anything works, neither will anyone else, and your progress as an engineer will stagnate.

Not good for mid to experience devs, no autonomy, no training, little interest in new ideas coming from outside. Agile talk but not put into practice. Lack of career track individual contributors, little salary increase (below inflation in my stay), low salary for dev, no bonus. Need to fit very specific mold for advance career-wise, no room to hear about criticisms, suggestions upwards. Slow decisions, too many people want to get involved, too much micro-management, too many managers, lots of politics in low management. Very negative outlook on aviation for at least next 3-4 years.
