These companies are nothing like the typical modern tech startup most of us are familiar with. This is a legacy hell hole where if there even is engineering, it’s reduced to the bare minimum, outsourced to the lowest bidder (= idiots) and they are proud of it. There is absolutely no reason for skilled talent to join them, which also means no skilled talent to train new joiners, so the mediocrity is perpetuated forever. This is the same reason why modern fintech startups managed to build competitive current account products in a few years and the legacy banks still can’t catch up. It’s not a money or resources problem, it’s a mindset and culture problem that needs to be resolved from the top.
