Can't recommend - Senior Software Engineer Restrata Employee Review

Salary somewhat made up for the burnout and frustration.

Nobody in the right mind would rate this place a 5/5. I've worked there. Don't trust a single 5/5 review. There is no plan for anything. The job was to constantly put out fires created by lack of long-term planning, roadmap and resources. Technical pivots that made people hired weeks ago redundant and fired. This is not an IT company, this is a startup inside a bigger company in energy sector. It does feel like one for sure. You will be expected to deliver on numerous responsibilities that you are not contractually obligated to deliver on. Without additional pay, of course. If you want a work-life balance, don't work here. If you want career growth, don't work here. If you want to know how your life in the company will look like in a couple of months, don't work here.

Kicking off my career here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made and I am extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to work alongside very talented and driven professionals. Restrata is a fantastic launchpad for anyone stepping into the Emergency Response world. As a newcomer to this industry, I felt supported from day one. My team and manager made onboarding seamless and were always and still are there to guide me, consistently providing me with new opportunities to develop skills and gain experience. At Restrata, there is a collaborative culture. The workplace is welcoming and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. I’ve been trusted with exciting and meaningful projects that not only align with my skills but also help me grow and undertake a role that makes a difference. Restrata understands the importance of balance and encourages taking time for personal development and well-being.

None so far! As a first-timer, I have a lot to learn, but the structured training and approachable team made it easy for me to adapt.
