TruStage Software Developer reviews

low pay - recruiter lied about pay tech stack old low diversity lots of politics

Development teams are severely understaffed, and most new hires don't even go through a technical interview. Consequently, teams lack the skills necessary to build even simple functionalities or to support critical business systems. A few high performers burn themselves out for no appreciation while watching the rest of their team do nothing but collect a paycheck. Managers involve themselves in technical decisions just to throw their weight around, which frequently results in bad architecture. There's no oversight or support, making everything a free-for-all where the loudest individual wins. Careers go here to die. Due to the company's animosity towards their worker's union, developers no longer receive bonuses, and all salary increases are denied by HR even if your request is approved up through a VP. Compensation is not competitive. There is no way to affect change in the organization regardless of tenure or position. Executives pride themselves in "doing what's right" in employee forums, but then communicate decisions that are unidirectional, matter-of-fact, and without any empathy or consideration.
