Pros

Good salary. I am very happy with my team. You did great work considering the toxic environment.

Cons

I was hired in a leading position aiming to initiate their processes and improve their codebase. After some months of huge effort, my team members did a great job. We introduce coding principles and methodologies. At the same time, we were also delivering production features and bug fixes. During this period, we were receiving too much pressure from the upper members. They fired a guy in a very bad way without any kind of formal evaluation. Essentially, that was my triggering point. They were making amateur designs for Enterprise features and we had to implement them. There was not any kind of research or thinking behind their decisions. They could not distinguish the priorities and efforts. After 4 months I submitted my resignation. Even if I was in a leading position, and I introduced many things, no one asked me why I did it. They stop talking to me. From their perspective, I am a traitor just like all the other guys that are leaving the Company. Since they did not ask for any feedback they never gonna change. They will always believe that they don't do mistakes and we are the traitors and the "bad" characters. During my professional career, I have left several companies. I have never seen such amateur behavior. I have never written a negative review. Since they don't ask for feedback, they don't want to change, so all the senior people will keep leaving and the list with the negative evaluations will keep growing.

Hi there - thanks for your review! We are sorry about your negative experience. Very few people have ever left us, while a lot more have stayed with us for long years. Also, no-one is considered a ‘traitor’ or anything like that - we do have a great relationship and regularly get in touch with most of the few ex team members who now work elsewhere. There is no list of ‘senior people leaving’ - on the other hand our team is growing rapidly. We are 30% more than pre-covid and we will keep hiring. Last but not least, we do make mistakes which we happily admit and learn from. We wish you a better experience on your next company.
