I Wouldn't Recommend

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Latest technologies such as : Next JS, Framer Motion, Tailwind etc are used. Friday is half day if work is complete Pay is above market rate if you are a lateral hire

Cons

Managers are not very good at their job and it shows. Projects are very short term such as 1-2 months, so its hectic Every project starts in chaos and in the end they rush in tons of folks to clean up the mess. Wouldn't recommend joining here if you want a steady work life balance

Code and Theory Response

Thank you so much for your feedback and really tangible things that you experienced and that we can get better on. We agree that we need to help our managers more to give them the support and tools they need to help their employees get better and feel safe and supported. We are leaning into that and have been having small group meetings with managers as well as 1:1 coaching as needed. This is a continued goal and we hope that it helps with some of the feedback you mentioned in your review. Please find me or anyone on our HR team if you would like to discuss this more. We are all ears. Thank you!
