Decent pay but poor management and job security concerns

Sr. software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Decent pay and access to all advanced tools.

Cons

Great people, but higher management is terrible. The latest push is replace everyone with AI, instead of guiding and up-skilling employees to adapt new ways of work to responsibly embrace AI. They don’t want to invest in their employees, but ‘cut costs’ and ‘automate’ as much as possible. I wouldn’t trust the brand with my PII or security, considering majority of the code will soon be AI generated without any human review. Forcing back to office and measuring performance by tokens burnt. Very little career growth opportunities. 3%-base pay increase is your best bet.
