From an Engineering standpoint, you learn a lot, and working in a competitive environment keeps your fundamentals sharp.

We're getting paid generally far better than in a less competitive environment. We're improving the value of our parent organization- this is what they pay us for. You're not actually accomplishing anything outside of that environment If someone else gets stepped on, it's a side effect of the relentless pursuit of progress, not an end unto itself. Success is determined by how effectively you and yours can contribute to the whole, that is the end-all and be-all. No, what we are doing is figuring out ways to outdo or one up each other to give the organization an edge. What you're doing is figuring out ways to screw each other over and gain an edge Highly competitive organizational structures are not a purely corporate institution. I also don't think the current corporate model of perpetual growth is sustainable, or even a remotely good idea.Īlso, while I work in corporate we are talking about a privately held organization. All my own words, and I'll readily acknowledge it isn't a good fit for everyone. Nothing about it has been shitty or damaging it's not for everyone, but it can be a very rewarding environment to work in if you're an aggressive type-a who needs a constant stream of challenges. You're describing an obviously shitty and damaging place to work Developers please contact mods with a 24x24 image and the flair title you want.Software Help & Advice Hardware Discussion Development Leak / Rumour Meta Video Review News Memes Images Deal / Sales Video / Gameplay Other Subreddits Please keep that in mind when talking with others.
