Great learning environment, but workload can be tough - SWE Intern Thndr Employee Review

Flexible, beautiful office, people are helpful

HR is not flexible at all

- Fast-paced environment to learn quickly and work across diverse technologies, though visibility and recognition can feel more tied to pleasing the right people than delivering results.

- Line management lacks structure and consistency, making decision-making inefficient. - Workplace culture often felt unwelcoming, with low morale across teams. - Roles and responsibilities are unclear, confusion and overlap in ownership. - Work-life balance is not well respected, with expectations frequently extending beyond standard working hours. - No strategic planning, both short-term and long-term, resulting in reactive rather than proactive operations. - Many initiatives are handled on an ad hoc basis without proper prioritization or roadmap. - Lack of clear growth plans for teams and the organization, creating uncertainty around direction and scalability. - People tends to focus heavily on management pleasing rather than addressing core operational issues. - Processes and expectations can shift frequently, making it difficult to maintain stability and momentum.
