What's the vibe like in the Engineering dept at Akamai? How many hours are you working?
Because some projects are badly managed, crunch time on these seems to be the rule rather than the exception. The Program Management team drives execution against dates, and not against Quality, so there can be tough times when the quality required for a product is not attained by the date set by Product/Program Management. And then it gets into a bad cycle. Engineering dates are somewhat considered, but there's always a shortcut being taken, and very often testing being cut, leaving lots of issues open in the wild.
