Good engineering challenges but declining quality of hires and business

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- good engineering problems at hand - gives space for you to grow and experiment - flexible WFH arrangement - good for freshers

Cons

- the new hires are mostly from a particular region and from particular colleges and the quality of new hires has gone down drastically - company has started counting hours spent in office, no one knows how this data will be used later - no mid level engineers, freshers are doing the heavy lifting - most seniors see the org as a retirement home and are not very serious - too much reliance on AI without doing a cost benefit analysis (if AI providers increase prices, this org will be paralysed) - juniors are being pushed to work only with AI and the fundamentals are missing and seeing the codebase, the products are bound to have a lot of bugs in the future and will have to retire the system and build again
