Pros

Always work to do. Helpful coworkers - needed when we are all struggling. Personal cubicles.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of work they demand. Time to work is poorly managed. You are micromanaged for every single hour. A few supervisors will call you regularly to complain first, ask questions later. Everyone on my team was quite depressed due to the suffocating work. Programming language has almost no documentation or examples - you decipher previous work to learn the language. Social talking and taking breaks discouraged. Few career opportunities from what is learned from this company. Managers will respond slowly and blame you for time lost due to that response. Have no issue giving too much work and will shrug off any advice concerning it. Asked to do work after work hours on my own time.

Thank you for taking the time to review and share feedback with us. We fully agree that the employees of CUTEK are helpful and fantastic to work with. We pride ourselves in having a great business model and providing opportunities for employees to learn new skills. I am sorry that your experiences with the company were not up to your expectations and you felt a fair wage was not given. The ability to code in multiple languages we work in often drive salary ranges and we do offer opportunities readily to developers to crossgrain and advance in other skillsets across multiple platforms outside of PowerOn. We host multiple social events and are very much flexible with giving our employees the time they need for personal matters. As any employer, we enjoy providing flexibility in schedules to employees who are demonstrating excellent work and delivering projects to our clients with quality. Some projects may require work outside of normal business hours but CUTEK also values the work life balance and works with employees to make sure time is managed appropriately. Thank you for your feedback and we will continue to reflect internally about ways in which we can improve our team's growth and successes as we support the needs of our fantastic clients across the nation. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

None, decent pay I guess if I need to list one.

Cons

First of all, someone needs to point out the obvious deception used by the company to inflate their Glassdoor review score. A negative review was posted August 13th 2024, absolutely slamming their management team, and the following day on August 13th, a "sweet and honest" four star review was left by some "employee", that does exactly what the negative reviews state they will do. You can feel how laced this August 14th review is with anger from their C-suite realizing their failure of a company. In this review, they flip the blame BACK ON THE DEVELOPER by saying "there is no micromanagement" (despite MULTIPLE negative reviews stating otherwise) - "if you can't handle multiple projects at once, this place might not be for you" Seriously? Is this company actually for real? This August 14th review is very obviously a plant by some disheveled individual in management that can't stand to see the truth about their company aired out in public. They'll even mention to employees how "people leave online anonymous reviews these days and it's not the right thing to do" during their exit interviews. This company is deceptive and malignant and should be shut down. This is mine boggling that they would create a fake review PUBLICLY in such an obvious manner, are they all dense here? Management needs to reevaluate their morals. They claim to be a leader in the industry - this is a lie. I've worked in FinTech for a decade across the country at multiple institutions - not a single one has heard of Cutek before. They are MID, and they have mid talent. They can barely get an API working for their internal products. The obvious review inflation by this abhorrent company is appalling and embarrassing. A grown adult left that review and more than likely also replied to their own. As far as work culture, terrible. No training. Micromanagement 24/7. All the negative reviews are true, there is a reason they are so detailed and lengthy. And there is a reason CUTEK copy and pastes their responses to every negative reply, because that's all they can muster, because it is the truth. Absolutely EMBARRASSING.
