Pros

Salary and bonuses average plus I would say. Flexible working policy is good.

Cons

Senior Management don’t have any clue how to manage people. Treating employees as resources, even good salary and bonuses can’t help here. Lack of people and resources, but they still expect you to finish big task with tough deadlines. Don’t accept problems/don’t want to fix, but they know about them. Rush with launching new features, so no time to improve previous. Decision makes in a rush, so mostly everything in MVP stage. Pure backend stack, internal frameworks with a lot of issues. Not interested in your knowledge improvement. Only when it comes to internal framework, but even here a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding. Everything about speed, not quality. KPI based environment. Toxic environment. You will be told what, how and when you should do, no freedom and flexibility. So if you like challenges and want to try change those things, this is perfect place. But be ready to big resistance and lack of power.

Pros

1. There are many real world challenges to be solved with urgency 2. You get to work on cool stuff from day one 3. Many smart competing colleagues 4. The product is growing every day. So, lot of new opportunities. There are even opportunities which are not yet polished waiting to be discovered.

Cons

1. Lack of internal technical documentation makes it a bit hard to navigate one's way through the huge code base 2. Not all teams use monitoring tools effectively which may lead to delayed discovery of bugs

Hi there! We're so glad to hear that your Revoluter experience has been so positive. We'd recommend running through Confluence to see if the technical documentation you were looking for is already there. Otherwise, your tech lead might be a good person to ask. If you've exhausted both options, perhaps you might want to consider starting some documentation yourself. We're sure your manager will appreciate the proactiveness and help reprioritise some of your other work to make this happen. We wish you well!
