Toxic tech management 😭😞 - Senior Software Engineer Grailed Employee Review

Engineering management acts like their employees are friends or unfit servants. Opportunities are granted exclusively by tenure or friendship -- never considering ability or track record. Intense 'insiders club' culture -- where not being an insider means you are being precisely monitored, by the second, for failure. You will be micromanaged - asked for constant status updates - until you feel sick. Culture rewards incompetency - hard work is actively punished. Expect to be sabotaged, mercilessly, at every single turn. Senior engineers get zero responsibility -- just 'code tickets.' It's absolute utter insanity. I've never experienced such toxicity in a tech culture in my life & I have been in industry for many years at many companies.
