NestReady Reviews

There are no existing cons

This company has a systematic problem with both the work environment itself and the culture proposed by them. When it comes to "Culture", there's a very sleazy policy and an utter lack of respect for the employees flowing from top-to-bottom, emanating from C-levels, VPs etc. They are constantly worried about their image, to the point where we can see a general lack of culpability for everything, case in point, all the PR stunts and damage-control answers for GlassDoor reviews they've been writing for the past years. C-levels/VPs/Leads, will always find a scapegoat, and once this given scapegoat is coerced into leaving the company - by the moment this individual becomes the scapegoat he will have a bullseye on his back-, he'll be labelled as the root of all evil, I've heard C-level saying 'Now that XYZ is gone, we will do better because this person was dragging us back' so many times that this sentence didn't mean anything to me anymore. Still on this topic, in order to keep this 'flawless' image to themselves, they won't accept any sort of feedback, albeit they flex being 'open', whenever a coworker presented any sort of criticism, they'd retaliate on both professional and personal levels. If you want to keep your job and ' be under the radar' whilst working on NestReady, you have to be compliant to that, just nod and clap to your manager whenever you have the chance, otherwise, they will make sure to make a living hell out of your life, with tactics so low (gaslighting, undermining employees, using your visa situation against you), that it will take a huge toll on your mental health. When it comes to the work itself, it's equally chaotic. I've heard headless chickens with a better sense of direction than this company's product, literally, everything on this product is a mere whim straight out of an over-imaginative child, on which, for some mysterious reason, the CEO just agrees and doubles down on it. During my time there, the job title of whoever is the 'decision-maker' for tech changed as much as the person wearing that hat. Ironically it follows a reverse Darwinist pattern, where clearly the lesser capable is the next one in the line of succession. They went from actual engineers (CTOs) taking care of tech decisions to product managers with no proper technical background to show ponies( grat resumé, no substance whatsoever, that somehow were able to buy a seat as co-founder late in the game), that in their turn was later replaced by tech leads/VPs that couldn't manage to people at all. Leads/VPs self-centred personalities combined with an unhealthy amount of greediness made them a perfect fit for the position, they were basically the C-levels lovechild! The kool-aid was drunk, and with so, they became the embodiment of all the 'culture' problems within days of their hire. Singlehanded made half of the team(myself included) walkout since we couldn't stand our own work anymore. Leads/VPs self-centred would appear with a new 'fad from the valley' every other week and make fun or even bully those who didn't agree with them on those fads, bear in mind some of those fads are essentially cults with extra steps or just a moral loop-hole to take psychedelic drugs. Imagine that, Leads/VPs who once told me that they never read an entire book, and prefers reading watered-down digests since it is shorter and has about the same content (their words), lecturing the team on best lifestyle practices. In no exaggeration, I never had to deal with such bad professionals in my entire life, respecting no boundaries or balance between work/personal life, retaliating people and treating them so bad, just so he can feel a little bit better about their sorry little life. Following this descending pattern of skill-level to be a decision-maker, I'm positively sure that if this place somehow finds a way to keep afloat, Lola -the office dog- is the next one in the succession line, followed by the C-Levels of course.
