The current CTO is dismissive toward team members and struggles to communicate clear solutions to problems. In practice, the Solution Architect ends up resolving most critical issues and shows stronger technical leadership. The CTO relies heavily on the Solution Architect for direction, while staying aligned with the CEO in a way that feels more political than merit-based. There’s a clear gap between what he says and what he actually delivers.
Frankly, it often feels like the only reason he holds the CTO role is because the Solution Architect has no interest in managing people.
Work–life balance is essentially nonexistent. The company promotes a “family” culture, but it feels more like a Game of Thrones–style family—competitive, political, and self-serving rather than supportive.
Accountability is weak across the organization, with people consistently avoiding responsibility instead of owning outcomes.
Everyone seems to be afraid to interact with each other specially Managers.
