Foundry Reviews

No real career progression, always at the grind stone working to get another release out - no real engineering culture to inspire you or learn from. This isn’t a place to come learn your trade and grow, you get a once a year appraisal which is lip service at best and then forgotten about for the rest of the year. New management have made it pretty clear they are not in the business of rewarding you financially and have an agenda to reduce costs where possible. Staff retention is terrible currently, a lot of the old faces are leaving and ‘promotions’ are handed to people without any increase in salary.

Marketing are the driving force of bitter infighting and office politics. After the old VC purchase and the new one, there was a restructure that benefited those who where in the "inner circle". A flourish of inexperienced managers who didn't know what they wanted, but needed to raise sales and revenue, non the less, led to two failed products and loss of valued colleagues. No remorse and no regrets attitude from C Staff teams. Watch out for HR. Complete poison. Cold blooded and under handed tactics that will, and have led to, lots of top people leaving. The ousting of the original founder was the last straw for most. With another round of VC to be had, they will be trimming the fat, after the sale. Look else where.
