Good place to start bad place to stay - Software Engineer-I Moebius Solutions Employee Review

pretty welcoming company enjoyed it.

the pay was not as high as i would like.

*The software engineers I worked with all were smart and knowledgeable. *I enjoyed the remote friendly culture, most positions are almost fully remote except the occasional on site. *The workload wasn't too intense either, and felt mostly laid back. * There's a variety of projects to work on that all seem interesting with modern tech stacks and a large amount of ownership compare to big tech.

* Salaries are at the low end of the industry and yearly salary increases are modest ~4%. * Slow to promote. A Lot of Jr engineers spend 3+ years without getting promoted *Incredibly stingy with yearly bonuses. They make you do a bunch of extracurriculars(present a tech talk, coach an intern, etc) to earn points to qualify for the yearly bonus, which really just felt like an excuse to deny people it. The bonus should be awarded for exemplary work on your team, not random sidequests. * The management seems to lack basic technical knowledge,and mostly comes from non-technical background. I was astonished that my manager had essentially zero technical grasp of the new project I was joining, leading to the project being severely misrepresented and me deciding to leave. * Additionally, my manager only gave me ~3 business days warning of the new project starting. Terrible communication on his part as a manager and took no accountability when it was brought to his attention.
