Very poor management - Recensione dipendente - Engineer presso CANVAS Technology

Awesome culture with lots of dogs, work-life balance, interesting problems

As it was currently a startup, pay was not that competitive with the area.

No more raising funds, promising technology areas with lots of industry growth, good work environment.

Organization has changed direction every quarter since acquisition and every six months prior. Unable to figure out how to deliver a valuable product because they refuse to follow structured product development process and are stuck in trial and error mode. Wasted a full year with little to show for it, and unlikely that can continue much longer. Still in denial on fundamental technical issues blocking long-term success and imagine that with more software development, everything is possible. Recent management turnovers brought in new Amazon leadership, but no bottoms up evaluation on what is failing and missing. Leadership is software focused and thinks they can just push harder on top-down schedules without understanding the technology limitations, regulatory hurdles, and product cost models. They know so little about scaling a hardware product that they still think it must be easy (Dunning–Kruger effect).
