poor culture - Principal Firmware Engineer WD Employee Review

many members of my technical team would consistently claim to management that it is "stupid" to do something or "impossible" instead of buckling down and solving problems. just a depressing culture seeing members of my team promoted for not solving problems but instead self-proclaiming themselves as experts. i came from legacy hgst. at that time, the pushback was rightfully from above, but i've never been on a worse engineering team as far as culture after the merger as far as having talent at wrong influence levels and setting very poor work environment examples.
