This is not surprising at all. Friends that work at such firms have shared stories of horrifying incompetence at every level. Most of the engineers with talent leave as soon as they realize leadership is dumb as rocks and got there by conniving politics rather than a meritocratic rise by accomplishing actual engineering tasks.
The only reason these kinds of companies continue to exist is the continuing stupidity of American Executives who will go to any lengths to not pay a decent wage for their Software operations. Fuck them, and they deserve exactly this for fucking over good quality talent.
Nobody would be surprised if a bridge built by cheapo contractors failed. Its much the same way with Software.
- chris_wot 8y agoCompanies I have worked at that have outsourced their IT infrastructure have almost always consistently showed a lack of care, experience, training and competence when it came to looking after our systems. In many cases I really believe that it ultimately cost the company more in lost efficiencies and downtime than if they had kept the infrastructure expertise in-house.
