Good engineers, challenging management processes - Anonymous Employee SeeByte Employee Review

- Compensation lagging behind in recent year, despite the company allegedly having annual checks with market rates. This seems to affect recruitment standards as the company does not attract the grade of engineers they say they want, anymore. - Technology stack is stagnant and work is not technically challenging. From a purely engineering point of view, the majority of work done would be considered boring and uninteresting aside from a select few projects. - Management processes are difficult, disconnect between upper management and engineering frequently leads to information being lost. - Communication channels are inconsistent, leads to information being spread across email, chats, and issue management items. This leads to engineers struggling to find required information. - Engineering managers frequently unavailable / overworked, don't show up to meetings which they have organised, which is a waste of time for engineers and leads to further disconnect from the engineering/product. - Resourcing is allocated on a whim, without care for expertise, skills, or personal preferences. People asked to re-train into skills they never signed up for to fill a temporary hole, instead of more forward looking resourcing and recruitment. - Career development past senior grade seems to be reliant on opportunities that will never be given to someone of senior grade. Too many principal engineers, basically one has to leave to allow a senior to be promoted.
