Souq.com Software Developer reviews

* Terrible management, specially the technical managers. Their knowledge is very outdated. * Souq.com's system is very bad when it comes to the quality of code, architecture and testability. * Managers take decisions based on their personal interests. * Managers are horrible when they deal with employees. Always you will see many fightings and insults during some meetings. * There's no team spirit, specially among the technical teams. Every team is acting like an enemy for the other. * Very political environment. If you can make good relationships with the managers then you will be safe. You will always see people fighting in meetings and on their communication channels. No body can be creative in an environment like this. * Nobody cares about the quality of the code or the design. Everyone just needs to deliver. * Very depressing work environment with huge amounts of workload. * There's no clear plan and goals. You just get surprised by some stupid features and projects that you should finish and you don't even know why. * The technical team suffers from poor planning. Every year employees will work literally 24/7 before the big events like White Friday and nobody literally will care! The management just wants money. * Many unprofessional people in this company can decide your fate. * The company mainly depends on the personal interests and decisions. Nothing there is professional at all. * The work-life balance does not exist. You can be called anytime during your vacations or weekends to finish work. People will always do extra hours with no compensation.

At some point there is internal politics.
