Challenging work overshadowed by poor management culture

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Challenging work - Good colleaques - Fair pay

Cons

- Micro-management of employees - Poor work culture: Most of the people promoted to management tend to be people pleasers and encourage overworking - Firing people on a whim: The company does not value people. Instead of sharing constructive feedback on performance, employees are simply fired, often without PIP or prior warning.

Remote work environment but chaotic management and priorities

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The organisation operates in a 100% remote environment.

Cons

In my entire 15 years of working, its a first time where I hear of an exec (CEO) approving leave of everyone in the organisation, as long its 7+ days. What a waste of time!!! No priorities, whatsoever. Priorities change everyday. Its not only priorities that change daily, job titles and responsibilities change on a weekly basis. As much as AI is changing how we work and becoming deeply integrated into our daily lives, this company appears to be overly reliant on it, which could backfire negatively in the long run.

Pros

One of the fastest growing startup in the world, so the challenge is huge. Easy to get in contact with other teams and stakeholders. Engineers are able to contribute very close with Business and Product, it is rewarding to see how much impact some dedication can do. Good growing opportunities for engineers that thrive in a dynamic environment.

Cons

It is that you will be available beyond regular working hours. Pressure to deliver.
