The company undervalues the art and design teams. There are not enough design staff, resulting in slow and incomplete specifications and designs, as well as contradictions between them. Directions from senior management cause the specifications to change almost every week.
Engineers are only responsible for execution. They can only accept changing specifications, but when producing the engineering work, they are asked to decide for themselves how to proceed because of insufficient design capacity. Afterward, evaluations can only be based on subjective judgment. As a result, managers of the execution teams have also become focused only on immediate needs and neither know nor plan projects beyond a one-week horizon.
On-call duty is required when products go live. The compensation for on-call duty is too low.
The servers frequently have problems, but clients are instead asked to update to a new version to avoid the errors and not display error messages in order to reduce complaints.
There are overseas offices that collaborate remotely, and communication problems exist.
Taken together, these points have turned the office culture into one of shifting blame and an atmosphere where doing nothing is safer than doing something.
