Momentum Telecom Reviews

Your coworkers probably did not have a technical interview. Technical merit is not evaluated in any reasonable way. The code clearly shows a severe lack of fundamental knowledge. To pass multiple parameters to mountains of stored procedures the values are joined as a delimited string. The web api makes over 200 empty object instances every call because one person did not know about static class members, and still does not. They weren't actively using their version control, until I made it happen. When I joined, only one developer could compile the code, until I fixed it. The application was hacked multiple times in a year. They foster an abrasive autocratic development management style. Communication with this type of management is one way, top-down to the employees. Employee ideas and contributions are not encouraged or necessary. Developers are expected to follow directions without question while being consistently checked and supervised. This type of style is particularly useful in organizations with hierarchical structures where management makes all of the decisions based on positioning in the hierarchy. Employees that benefit from this style of management include those who are new, unskilled, or unmotivated, as they need the supervision and clear direction. They preach Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose in town hall meetings, but do not practice it. Some are clawing at management positions that are not available, eager to pretend they are now your 4th boss, even if you have already taken the work you are doing with them far beyond their capability and understanding. If you do not play along, they will turn on you. Finally, this review was removed from glassdoor a year after it was posted. This is the repost.

Unfortunately, Momentum has no process or procedures for completing projects. It is often left up to the employee as to how work will be accomplished and prioritized. While this may appear to be a benefit, management is never sure what projects are priorities until last minute. Management will often hold meaningless company update calls. My trust in the CEO and management had diminished after what seemed to be a positive call about how well the company was performing. About two days later a massive layoff hit unexpectedly. Apparently everything was riding on one customer. This created a huge sense of distrust in my department.
