This place feels like it’s stuck in the past. Half the leadership team seems completely unqualified, and most only got their roles through connections or because they cost less. And the result are layoffs, because that's the only thing incompetent leadership knows how to do. It’s wild how this is allowed to go on.

In an organization people who work at midnight, weekend are rewarded but not questioned or nothing is done to prevent it. If they prevent no reward so break it and fix it at midnight just like US Government shutdown.
Leadership? Misuse of the word for SunTruist.
There is leadership at Truist? Have not seen it. I have seen people in high positions bully, retaliate, harass, hide, take so much vacation, make endless excuses and threats.
Never call them leadership. They're bad management.
Truist pay all that much for software engineers and most are offshore contractors in India. As a result, we’re left with a team of engineers who, at best, are mediocre and frequently break code. Software releases turn into all-night affairs that last all weekend (8-24 hour events), while leadership insists these should only take a couple of hours. Honestly, this place is the epitome of a dysfunctional organization.
@op - In my department, leadership typically sticks to a comfortable 40-hour work week. Meanwhile, my role has devolved into one where I’m constantly working nights, often with barely any notice. The PMs only have to write features and collaborate with UX designers, but the real work falls on the POs. They’re the ones getting things done, while others in the department—like the SVPs—basically act as meeting facilitators, sending out meeting minutes (RTEs—you know who you are). The inequality is staggering. It's a monotonous slog. POs put in the actual effort, but all the recognition goes elsewhere. Honestly, I can’t wait to get out of this mess and move on to something better.
