Joyent Reviews

The list of con’s is so long, I can’t list them all here. Since Joyent is owned by Samsung, the company is ran by an outside group of “Managers” from Samsung. They treat the Joyent employee’s as below them. Extremely disrespectful. The Samsung Management team is horrible. Their top priority is to push blame off on others and they will lie as needed to make that happen. The Samsung team changes our development road map every couple of weeks. Their management style is to simple demand more than any team can do and then blame the team for failing. Run from this company. Do not work here.

The engineering organization is a flat structure where there are no engineering managers or technical leads. Even though they have implemented some review processes for proposing features and changes, you will have a hard time winning technical arguments if you want your voice heard. Prepare to be shut down by the CTO many times if you're willing to fight for change. There's no culture of empowering people, it's all about being the smartest person in the room. The environment can be really hard to manage if you are shy and non-confrontational person, like many in the company are. This creates a situation where people give up, stop trying and lose motivation to work on new things.
