Advice to Management

Dont hide behind your paywall

Pros

I haven’t worked there, I am reviewing the application process

Cons

Received an invitation to an online test after the rejection letter. The test itself seemed a bit odd for a marketing position but I understand the need to select candidates and it is an easy way to do so. Despite that soft skills and leadership skills are not shown and questioned in intelligence tests

Pros

it was ok with some perks

Cons

but had some issues as all companies

Pros

lunch, gym, amazing engineers, kicker / pool tables

Cons

micromanagement no leaders, just some wannabe bosses no vision, no plan kiss the right bottom and you'll get up there ALL the 5* reviews are fake!!!

Advice to Management

they never listen to anyone, an advice is absolutely pointless.

Pros

colleagues, coffee, gym, cleanliness, food

Cons

- lack of direction: the management doesn't really know what they are doing. - bad decision-taking. - broken company culture: values and mission of the company are completely outside of the reality and they are constantly remembered to the employees, it feels a bit like 1984. - continuous promises to employees that never materialize. - incompetent people in high positions. - employees don't trust management,... management doesn't trust employees.

Advice to Management

Being more than 5 years old, this company should already have a much more mature and feature-rich product, but it seems to be still in 2012 because of continuous direction changes and terrible management.

Pros

The lunch is free and quite good.   The work life balance is ok, because working long hours is rather unusual here due to boring work, meaningless deadlines and unrewarding experiences.

Cons

Here is admittedly a very subjective summary of my experience and why it was a big mistake to join Centralway for me. I hope this will help somebody else to avoid loosing time at Centralway. So what will you find here?   You will be hired and pitched as an ultra A player but you will work as a faceless code monkey in a boring Scrum team just like at any other company too.   Centralway is not a technology... company, but a small investment oriented startup run by a small group of suit-and-tie people, who never talk to anyone outside of their circle. As an engineer you will be a second rate employee who will be considered as easily replaceable at any time.   There is absolutely no room for any kind of a career growth. All heads and leads are usually hired from outside.   Expect to be managed by random young people without any notable engineering background and who have never proven anything in software engineering or in building of successful software products. They try their best, but they do not know anything better than you.   Expect to work on seemingly pointless and highly questionable ideas you will probably not care about.   You should prepare to work on the most technically undemanding stuff of your life in an environment constrained by a huge amount of processes and an army of stake holders. Expect to be unable to get even simple things done in days.   All decisions are strictly top-down. You will be never involved into any strategic or architectural decisions and you will be not expected to ask about the "why" but to do whatever you were told to do.   You should accept that "truth" and "facts" is not what you hear and see, but what you were told. The company communicates things to the public, which some colleagues consider as blatant lies.   You may be surrounded by unhappy and frustrated colleagues, which causes a lot of unpleasant frictions.   If you ever decide to leave, the last thing you should expect is that the company will fight for you to stay. Remember, as an engineer you are a disposable resource here.

Advice to Management

Return the funds to investors and let everyone go in peace.
