GoTo reviews

There is no alignement on vision and roadmap across product teams. So a lot of teams are just doing their own priorities. The ones who get promoted are the ones who have the best relationship with the top but not necessarily with the best leadership skills. Feature factory, churning things out as fast as possible but the value is not clear. A lot of focus on technical excellence and not enough on people who can actually coach their team and support their growth. Leads are often burned out because they need to lead and manage, they don't have the necessary tools and skills to effectively grow a team. They don't leverage scrum master and coaches very well, they are pushed to the side to do Jira and reports instead of helping build more high performing teams. Side effect, people just give up and do mediocre work. Layers of management, team leads, director, senior director. etc.
