Current job situation is not great, will not be the same for the next couple of years

Low opportunity for career growth, unqualified people employed for engineering positions.

Lack of support from regional management

Pay was subpar and some of the development processes involved a lot of junk.

High Stress No Work/Life balance No results from Complaints No backfill of employees who decided to leave which adds to already taxing workloads and causes others to leave

You cannot get so much support from HQs but the target. However, that's why you can grow because you have to bring outcome, even without support/technology/quality/budget.

- Middle management and top management are now super focused on KPIs, and tend to micro manage. This used to be very different. - In some parts of the organization (esp. in the so-called "best-cost-countries", BCC), engineers are moved between teams by management like pawns on a chess field. "Project is on fire? Let's pour in these BCC engineers!". - Incredible complex architecture of products in the business area of Autonomous Mobility (AM). I have the impression that constantly components, interfaces etc are added, but never reduced or simplified. Same applies to project setups, tooling and development environment. They often say that AM is a complex business - yes, might be true, but what I see exceeds that complexity.
