Some managers are egoistic and unprofessional.it depends on project though. I ended up resigning owing to my scrum master and manager. They act as if they are technically sound and bring down genuine employees who don't do boot licking

Thank you for your review.
It’s gratifying to know that you have such a good time in our company.
We appreciate your contributions and wish you all the best.
The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.
Cons
Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
