Tech companies not following Agile/Scrum
Hello all, Are there companies in tech that do not follow the scrum/agile software dev lifecycle. Kinda fed up of the two week sprint lifecycle - been doing it for years and find it boring and monotonous. And would like to explore something a bit different. TC#200

If agile sprints are a grind, it’s possible that your company is just really bad at doing agile and you’d still be better off at a company that uses it correctly.
Corrected. It’s more like it has become boring and monotonous

Agile/scrum is not that complicated to follow but the complication comes to integrate that framework in the team. Scrum masters/project managers are always falling behind to prioritize things. For instance Agile looks garbage(which is not) only when a dev is working on a story and if there is some hot fix need to be done on production then higher management expecting dev to look both of them. They donno how to prioritize or hold some things that’s where Agile becomes too complicated. What your thoughts?
a lot of the big tech cos don’t follow agile/scrum. eg. Uber generally, Meta and Google - projects get assigned to individual team members and then they just work on them until they’re done. team dependent of course.
One team I worked on was still following waterfall
A lot of startups just do waterfall and IT/Ops
Sprints are cool one week is chill and next week could be hell
