Security Compass Software Developer reviews

Over the last year there have been major changes in engineering leadership. A lot of good people have left and things have become more corporate. The company culture is spiritually dead. Some of the decisions being made are detached from reality and are leading to obvious unhappiness amongst the engineers. There is no room for push-back and everything is being done top-down. The expectation is that more people will leave and that the department should be grateful for not conducting layoffs... even though it's a small company that cannot afford to.

Environmentally, if you're interested in quiet working conditions it's generally not great. A culture of wanting to keep people connected has favoured open floorplans and coworkers socialize, which can mean difficulties for people who need lots of quiet for good output. There's some quiet areas to work, but mostly if you want quiet you're looking at working from home. As a small-medium sized company, there's definitely the problem of promotion. For a lot of minor functions in the company there's little room to grow to higher positions, so we've lost people who needed to take other opportunities for growth reasons.
