Bureaucratic, for a small team. Poor engineering culture
Bureaucratic, for a small team. Poor engineering culture
- Working within a vertical that can either make or break the entire real estate industry
- Extended health, dental, and vision benefits
- RRSP matching
- Not an innovative team. They claim that they prefer to adhere to "tried and tested" methods, but are really just complacent. For instance, the product is not responsive across screens because one person just does not understand CSS3 media queries.
- Lack of transparency from management. Tasks are assigned rather than empowering engineers to offer solutions to business problems that are presented to them through consistent communication from up the chain of command.
- Lack of end-to-end technical ownership.
- Micromanagement.
- Uninspiring work.
- The team didn't quite feel like a startup due to a hierarchical team structure.
- You can't learn much from working in this team.
- Poor engineering culture. There are no blameless post-mortems, a reactiveness to problems, and a lack of proper team-based learning and development.
- You can't look up to management for technical guidance, nor are engineers empowered to make decisions in lieu of management's technical competencies.
- Personality-wise, everyone in this team seems to lack a sense of curiosity that many startups in Vancouver exude.
