Cultural silos hindering professional growth and teamwork
Pros
Standard Canadian benefits package, Hybrid
Cons
Lack of SDLC & Agile Maturity: Inside of the QA Team: No structured planning, peer reviews, or collective demos. Professional growth is hindered by improvised workflows and a total absence of process improvement. Team work in isolated "waterfall" silos rather than collaboratively with the Dev Team. Into the QA Team (2 people) exist practices like Knowledge Siloing, Gatekeeping, Mobbing, and Discouraging initiative. Hostility Toward Professional Input: Providing expertise or suggesting data-driven improvements is perceived as a threat or competition rather than a contribution to the team’s success. Poor Leadership Culture: A "command-and-control" environment where individual opinions are dismissed, and ideas are co-opted without credit.
