Avantages
Absolutely no pros to mention.
Inconvénients
The CTO has made a conscious decision to staff departments with individuals who lack the necessary technical depth and prioritize political loyalty over expertise. This is not an oversight; it is a strategy that favors "yes-men" who won't question his direction over objective competence. The DevOps management is a perfect example: clearly out of their depth, lacking fundamental technical knowledge, and seemingly hired for loyalty alone. Under this leadership, the department is in freefall. Reckless, uncommunicated changes routinely break production, causing outages and chaos across engineering. All while the DevOps and CTO leadership focus on playing political games, managing upward, and preserving their own image instead of fixing the issues they create. This has bred a culture where failure is normalized, accountability is nonexistent, and skilled employees are sidelined or driven out. The company’s stability is being sacrificed due to executive misalignment and mismanagement. Word travels fast about the engineering leadership and toxic culture. The reputation is so damaged that even decent engineers refuse to apply, leaving the company unable to hire anyone competent. Do not work here if you care about your career, your professional well-being, or working in a functional environment. The leadership is not just ineffective - they are an active threat to the company’s survival.
