      extremely unpleasant, incredibly disorganised

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      fast-tracked career growth during a phase of hyper growth (working under extreme pressure in very poor conditions), bonding with colleagues over shared trauma.

      Cons

      no real/unique product or POS, bullying and intimidation, micromanagement, arbitrary deadlines and constantly cutting corners, non-collaborative, non-transparent, subpar management, low-balling salaries, several mass layoffs over the space of two years.

      3 mass layoffs in 3 years

      Backend engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are no advantages at all in this company

      Cons

      The managerial understanding seems somewhat lacking, and there's a noticeable absence of metrics to gauge work effectiveness, rendering operations less efficient. The developers' competency appears questionable, judging from their track record spanning the company's seven-year existence. Such levels of unprofessionalism are rare in my two decades of experience in the field. The owners' approach seems out of sync, resembling children dabbling in business matters with their family's resources. Despite three instances of mass layoffs within three years, totaling over 1,500 job losses, the company continues its hiring spree. It's perplexing that relevant authorities haven't addressed this pattern, as essentially, the company disrupts stable employment by laying off workers and leaving them unemployed.
