Worst company I've ever worked - Backend Developer StartupCraft Employee Review

I have been honored to work at StartupCraft for 3 years from 2017 until 2020. The company keeps growing. I have attended several workshops that gathered employees to improve the internal processes in the company, through analyzing the past experience and transforming it into improvements. The salary level is always reasonable, depending on your skills, willingness to learn and openness to the feedback from the management. The salary has always been paid in full. In terms of learning, some literature and online courses are recommended on-demand and you can always ask your colleagues for advice. The Team is the diamond of the company. StartupCraft has a strict selection process for highly qualified experts, therefore if you get there, be sure you are among the experts. I highly recommend StartupCraft as a company to work for.

Sometimes the management can be quite harsh in the way to provide feedback, but it's always clear and reasonable. Small delays of the salary payment happened to me twice in 3 years, when the whole team was not meeting the deadline commitments of the project, which can sometimes happen in other companies as well.

Fill your head with complex tasks

1. Contract is meaningless. They don't pay you if they "don't like" you through the first month. Even if they say in contract that this time is payed. So I got nothing for my 14 hours of work here. If I was in US, you'd be sued. We'll see if I can do something remotely. 2. Time tracking with a software. 8 hours of your day you'll feel like a lab rat under the supervision of software, making screenshots and measuring your activity. 3.
