What a mess! - Senior Software Engineer Morningstar Employee Review

Its an old ship with thousand holes and blind tech management is building a castle on top of it. Top Heavy - Directors, Head Of Technologies, Practice heads(ever heard of this?) , Senior Tech Managers, Managers, Tech Leads and what not! Crazy politics in tech organization. Even frameworks are chosen based on who is heading the department. Cartels recruiting from their own family and friends and placing them in no responsibility areas. 90% of resources does full time management nonsense in Chicago, and all s/w development is slowly moved to India and China. After few years everyone in Chicago will be directors and will direct each other :-) while all s/w development will move to India and China. A Listers are harassed to quit while C Listers are finding every opportunity to replace them with their D Lister friends. If you are a genuine guy interested in contribution and execution, you will not survive here for 2 years. I did not! Company hardly makes $900 million in revenue and every one here preaches as if they are running 100 Amazons in a 7 floor office. Management has no idea how to fix the mess and those who have, are sidelined and kicked.
