Once a great place to work
Once a great place to work
- Still a lot of smart people around, who are willing to help and knowledge share
- Modern and competitive tech stack
- Clear trend of reducing resources while maintaining (or increasing) delivery expectations. Hard to find a colleague who isn't overwhelmed or overworked. - Projects are often delivered under unrealistic timelines, requiring constant overtime and high stress, only to result in average performance reviews with little recognition and marginal pay rises. - The pace and amount of work makes it nearly impossible to invest in continuous learning. - Staff retention continues to decline, placing even more pressure on those who remain. - Although mental health is publicly acknowledged, genuine support is lacking. Those who speak up may later see it reflected in poor reviews or worse. - Company restructures, including the introduction of director-level roles, appear to have created pressure to justify their presence through increased delivery targets and cost savings, often at the expense of already overworked employees. - Teams are mostly made up of associates and mid-level engineers. Seniors are stretched thin and can’t focus on coding, while associates and mids lack adequate support to grow.
