Good people, bad management

Pros

Technology is good but outdated. Engineers are of high quality. Engineers generally have a positive attitude and band together when under pressure/deadlines.

Cons

The Maxeler London office suffers from toxic management culture. Upper management can be divided in to two camps - The "I know everything camp and you shall do as I say" and the "We're all a team so let's get on and do it camp'. Unfortunately the first camp is far more vocal and overrides the second. The C.E.O has even stated that Maxeler will not hire first rate employees as they won't do as commanded, so we'll aim for second or third rate employees. Due to this the work environment is rather poor and moral is low. These attitudes have not always been in place but have arisen as a consequence of >66% of upper management resigning in the last 24 months.

Pros

It has been a good company to go through a kind of bootcamp for engineers, and people have gone on to good things at Facebook, Google etc.

Cons

It would be funny how bad the compassionless and arrogant CEO is if it wasn't for all the damage he's done to people's mental health over the years.

Pros

Technology was good. Good people worked here before.

Cons

No respect for people, they hire you as a regular employee to perform a task and then fire you after you finish (it was cheaper than a contractor). 80% of the technical employees are in probation period (less than 6 month). All people with some knowledge of the company is no longer there. Hardware products are good, but they are old. Offices are overcrowded. No career progression. Most of the management people are very rude.
