Pros
- Relatively decent compensation, though not the best in the market - People are generally kind and willing to help - Before the first layoff in Oct 2022, We had pretty solid engineering foundation & talent which could have been capitalized further
Cons
Many of the cons I experienced had been elaborated in great details at the recent reviews so I won't repeat the same information here. Instead, I would like to reemphasize how broken current Xendit state is as compared to pre Oct 2022 layoff state (Though not perfect back then but much closely adhere to Xendit culture) 1. In the past, even single bad review in Glassdoor would be addressed in townhall. Right now? Meh, who cares with the fact that the company rating sink faster than Titanic 2. Layoff happened with no performance based consideration. As what other reviews have mentioned, The layoff seems to be largely based on favoritism and no performance consideration had taken place. Among those who stayed are lickers who for reason unbeknown to me have managed to stay for many years despite obviously contributing 'Nothing' to the organization. 3. With the fact that most middle managers are gone, these lickers would find life even easier to consolidate their position, spread the toxic, lick C Level to stay as long as possible. 4. Needless to say, all above points contribute to the low engineering qualities delivered where speed top everything else and tech debt keeps on mounting. Good Luck if you ever decide to invest your valuable time & career in Xendit at this point of time, you will be elegantly asked to inherit & solve issues caused by prior tech debt faster than spaceX starship. 5. On top of all the above, C Level don't really seem to care anymore and seems to be looking for a 'startup exit' (If they haven't sold their ownership already)
