Oktium Reviews

I've worked there for a long time, to the point that I even met the original co-founder, Afif, which I can describe as a smart gentleman since he jumped ship and joined a different company as soon as he noticed all the red flags. Meanwhile, I ignored the departure of a co-founder and insisted on keep working in there. The levels of lack of professionalism are abysmal, I do remember weeks where no one would provide specs, ideas, anything, and out of nowhere we (devs) would be poked on this new feature that was supposed to be released last month, but somehow, no one was informed. Still, on that topic, I do remember a very messy period, when the CEO was dealing with his divorce and during this time the whole company was at the brink of being out of business, 'cause he was not feeling well enough to work, which was comprehensible. On the other hand, which is not comprehensible is when he fired a co-worker because he asked for a vacation so he could go on his honeymoon. Or when he ghosted a Back-end dev for days, to the point that he actually pinged me on Skype asking 'have you seen Olda? I haven't got specs or new work for weeks now', needless to say eventually this dev would receive the good old 'kicked from slack/bitbucket/aws' treatment. Payments were always a hassle, invoices were sent, but we never know if they are gonna be paid, and whenever they did, it would often take 10, 15 extra days to do so. When I left the company, there was an outstanding invoice that they refused to pay, later on they asked me for some help with the stack, aws and whatnot, which I provided, hoping that, with that, they would honour the agreement and pay the last invoice, which they didn't. Now, the funny bit is, how a company can scam devs year after year and still be featured on angel list? In conclusion, Oldritch has the backbone of a chocolate eclair.

They treat Sales like Royalty. C'mon, I know they are really good, but so is the Engineering team
