ScriptPro reviews about "team"

They office setup needs be more aligned with a modern company for software engineering. The software 'house' as its call is literally a house not an office building. Instead of yearly bonuses they spend more on socializing, training, facilities, etc.

People often feel micromanaged. It's a family-run business without a board of directors, so the direction of the company is at the whim of the family members. Sometimes there is misalignment among the executive team. The company also sometimes gets mired in the details of our literally hundreds of products and loses seeing the bigger picture, failing to find focus on the products that are really what we should all be aligned on.

CEO is gone 95% of time, no continuity of leadership, loyal longstanding management resistant/fearful of change in order to improve process. Heard too many times, “That’s the way we’ve always done it. “. Lots of unwelcome gossip amongst employees about each other.

The benefits could be better

Communication can be challenging in a quickly-changing industry.

Those stuck within the workflow support team, and those placed under teams with certain managers. I will not name them directly, but know that working here you will be at the fate of whatever mood your manager percieves you in. The downside to them is that some of them in certain departments are honestly quite lazy, and very disconnected from the teams they work with. They aren't aware of all the things ongoing within the company, and in truth it becomes more of a brownnosing enviorment to stay around. For example there was one employee who spent close to three years not doing his job in the company and underperforming and in some cases creating more work for other members of the team. Yet, at the end of the day he was allowed to stay on until enough complaints were brought up to HR simply because he was friends with the manager. This goes into line with other individuals throughout the company as well, many of them are just friends with the managers and thus secure there roles and positions. There is also another issue, in that many members of the staff are very incline to keep certain information or skills to themselves and are not willing to share the information. The feeling that you need to validate your own importance exists here with the company, otherwise you'll be passed over for promotion or have a less likely chance to be terminated due to the importance you place yourself as.

Lack of management: Some managers do not have the capacity to spend time with their teams. No regular check-ins and reviews aren’t meaningful. No clear path for career advancement. You are lucky to get time with your manager. Executive oversight: No decisions can be made without an executive (family member). Communication: Lack of transparency results in gossiping which overall feels toxic. Emotion over metrics: Work is guided more by emotion instead of metrics. It is hard to know why you are working on a project other than the fact that the CEO said so. Policies over Performance: There is strict yet inconsistent oversight over unplanned paid-time-off (sick days, basically), time tracking, and remote working policies. Meetings will totally derail if there are typos or formatting inconsistencies in documentation. Many procedures based on shuffling of hardcopy paperwork. Encouragement: there is not a culture of encouragement, even a simple “nice job.” If feedback and encouragement matters to you, you will miss this here.
