Tillster reviews

A work environment that values activity over results. A company where all decisions are made by one person and any input is ignored or worse derided. This environment is very detrimental to anyone's mental health. The turnover rate here seems way above normal and in a job market like San Diego that is saying something, if Tillster/EMN8 had to exist in a competitive job market like Silicon Valley or NYC they wouldn't last a month. Think long and hard before you bet your career on this company, it is not now nor will it ever go anywhere. Look at the track record, they have been around for 10 years and the results (not activity) but actual results are limited at best. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Atmosphere: Cynicism and stress. Tillster is in pretty deep. Most of the LA office is dead weight. The toxic atmosphere from LA emanates into the other offices (no pun intended- tillster used to be called EMN8). Employees who challenge executive decisions risk being yelled at or worse. Deadlines: As a result of always being deadline-driven, Tillster's wounds are self-inflicted. If we could slow down long enough to do things right, maybe not every project would be ladened with technical debt. Management: Executives and sales force seem to have a distorted picture of our solution. Mid level managers are constantly battling over "resources," because most engineers are either gone or burned out. They also have to fight the endless stream of requirements that seem to flow in from every direction. This can be especially difficult when most of the requests are in conflict with the concept of a scalable product. Hiring practices: Tillster affixes "Pre-IPO startup" to each open job posting, presumably in an effort to attract better talent. After several years, they still haven't gone IPO. Someone also posted some bogus positive reviews here on Glassdoor a while back.
