Lack of Work/Life Balance and Toxic Environment

Developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Hybrid work environment, interesting problems, modern tech stack, exposure to cloud architecture, collaborative coworkers

Cons

YMMV - FTE but have to constantly log and track tasks + hours while being micromanaged on daily basis to squeeze in more velocity - Overworked and understaffed— most of the team have been forced to work extra hours (12 hours/day) and many weekends just to keep up with unrealistic demands - Lack of product roadmap and understanding of timelines (bunch of firedrills, scope creep and throw-away work) - Dead-weight across functional teams where we invested a lot of time on training but they cannot perform but are expected to include them for political reasons - Bringing up any issues in retros will typically get dismissed and not addressed. Has led to minimal participation in each session and members continue to suffer with same issues.
