Techstack is ancient and has very little training to finish the job. Almost no new feature development, mostly fixing defects raised by customers. Management, especially my manager, was good at micro management. Making sure that I won't like the work I do. Will never appreciate the work you do. Scrum meetings turn into a blame game all the time. Ok for those who have a "yes sir" attitude. Management lacks soft skills.
