Rhythm Engineering reviews

-There is a bunch of reviews already describing that the main negative side is the CEO. I agree and I can add the very first reason is the trauma he is dealing with, related to his level of acceptance in US society, as well as prejudices for people in Bulgaria. -CEO's recent error to hire an unprofessional HR whose behaviour made the office look like the Big Brother house full of gossip and drama that I've never seen before, and to not want to listen to people's feedback, led to an almost empty Sofia office in 2 months, with very bad consequences in terms of customer support (long queue of projects that townships are waiting for, with a total lack of experienced workforce to deal with - unfortunately young girls hired in Chennai have no experience and a 30 pages training pdf is not enough). -In the beginning of 2024 the unprofessional HR, tolerated by the naive CEO, tried to scam an employee with a compensation amount. The whole office "burst", the General Labour Inspectorate found out and visited the company, an important fine is being processed with reputation wounds difficult to heal anymore. (All this in Bulgaria, fortunately the US office has not been affected except for losing support from Europe). -CEO was inadvertently heard during Teambuilding after a few drinks advicing managers to look at employees like prisoners. He is also tactless when saying he is tired of hiring people doing shi*ty" work.

Management across all disciplines is tough to work with, particularly the owner of the company. He is a well-intentioned individual and highly intelligent, but is extremely difficult to work for. Goalposts move on a daily basis, expectations are outrageous, and no matter how many times you tell him the sky is blue, if he thinks the sky is orange, the sky is orange. There's no reasoning. He will chew you out personally in company-wide meetings, he'll make false statements with so much conviction it's astonishing, and he will fight you tooth and nail on your compensation so that you end up with as little as possible. The company is a falling knife. Each person that is hired on believes they'll be able to catch it and turn it around, but as time passes, each come to realize that they're only going to get cut. In the little over a year that I was employed with this company, the turnover rate was roughly 20%. For reference, a rough estimate on turnover for these companies where almost all roles are key roles should be comfortably under 10% If you do decide to work at this company, here's my advice: get as much of a signing bonus as you can, keep your head down and work there for a year and gain some industry experience. Say "yes sir" to everything, even if it's an insane request, you'll get punished if you push back on anything.
