Over Engineering

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- Opportunities to learn Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices. - Strong Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) tools, with a well-designed and efficient pipeline. - Emphasis on Test-Driven Development (TDD), which supports a quality-focused development process.

Cons

- A tendency to over-engineer and reinvent solutions, often deviating from industry-standard, proven technologies. This stems from leadership decisions that prioritize in-house solutions, leading to unnecessary complexity. - The founder's limited technical background has resulted in over-reliance on the CTO, who, while highly intelligent, tends to overcomplicate systems. This focus on internal engineering efforts detracts from the primary goal of improving product features and serving clients. - The over-engineering approach has led to a significant number of incidents—around 1,000 last year—preventing the team from focusing on delivering value to the business and its clients.

Incompetent leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

The people are nice and sometimes there are fun social events

Cons

- The company wants to reinvent the wheel. There are custom libraries for even the simplest things - Management and leadership are quite incompetent. It almost seems like they accidentally ended up in that position and now they don't know what to do - The pay is well below market - The product is nothing innovative. It's almost like the company is a bit of a scam - The CEO often approaches engineers directly to do "urgent" work which is not urgent at all

Pros

None at all, just an awful place to work at.

Cons

1. Horrible tech stack implementations - Complex systems (such as event sourcing) with poor implementations. They want to implement all the cutting-edge tech instead of traditional systems but have poor implementations leading to a lot of production alerts and a cumbersome codebase 2. Below average salary 3. Top-down culture - needs people who keep quiet and follow orders 4. Poor leadership - No vision, the product offering is worse than competitors with no clear path to profitability 5. Perks - No extra perks other than salary, none at all 6. Empathy - The leadership has poor people skills and has an utter lack of empathy for employees. This is reflected in a lot of decisions here such as overworking employees, making fake promises, fake promoting employees to interim positions for months on end with no increase in salary 7. Lot of favoritism from leadership 8. No career progression 9. The company wants to save costs everywhere they can, so don't expect even a $ above your salary in form of perks ,etc when you join
