balena reviews

- Lack of planning/guidance/vision - No career advancement opportunities - Having to work support even as an engineer - Confusing and bloated management structure - Financial instability/on the edge of product canceling/lay-offs

You have to be willing to take a lead and really, find what you want to do/can contribute to. No one will come to you and tell you "do this things, due this date", only very few people in Balena will get such direct requests, which can be a bit frustrating as people that have already a lot of work only get more work and at the same time you have some people trying to figure it out how to get work assigned to them and learn without consuming the time of those people that are already loaded with work. Diversity and Inclusion is a a hard hit, we are indeed very good at hiring people from all over the planet however, we can do better in creating a more diverse team.
