- Constant* project churning. Requirements either written by AI without considering what's actually possible, or just blatantly copy the competition as they do it better. Just copy, copy, copy, without understanding what works and what doesn't, and why it works or not. Demanding constant revisions over and over on UX work, in a rush.
Utter incompetence. I've worked on projects for months that go so long only because management is entirely incapable of making good decisions. Iterate, iterate, iterate, iterate.
The place has become a complete mess, with outrageous demands as they assume everyone is now a superhuman with these AI shortcuts (they've done nothing but make things worse for everyone but devs.) And dev wants nothing to do with UX, as they just see it as a bottleneck as they "vibe code" unplanned, unconsidered garbage.
Anyone with original ideas will have them stolen as management desperately tries to justify their employment, despite outright incompetence.
What a complete waste. It was a great place to work while it lasted, but now it's just absurd demands with absurd timeframes with absurd people.
And good luck if your manager decides (to alleviate his own guilt for throwing out a LONG-time performer) that he has to be entirely unreasonable and make absurd demands of you suddenly . Su-ks when the manager was already entirely incompetent at design - now he's going to demand your work gets far worse as he forces terrible decisions that don't make any sense. Just making a paper trail of "insubordination" for not heeding "just make the logo bigger"-type of feedback an amateur wouldn't make.
What a joke. Stay far away. They are going to be desperate for good employees soon. I've seen many companies make the same terrible mistakes, and it just gets worse and worse.
