Never join the rubbish comapny - Senior Staff Engineer Future Secure AI Employee Review

We are growing at an amazing pace to setup for our future success. Fast paced, startup environment with a very caring leadership team.

Very fast paced, so if you are not use to that environment, FSAI might not be for you.

There are genuinely talented and hardworking people in the company who are passionate about building great products and delivering real impact. Unfortunately, that effort is often overshadowed by poor leadership, blame culture, and politics. Many engineers want to collaborate and solve problems, but the environment makes it difficult for good work to be recognized and supported.

Poor management culture. No matter how much you contribute to a project, when deadlines slip, leadership often looks for someone in the team to blame rather than addressing the real issues. Tech leads and engineering leaders tend to protect themselves instead of supporting the squad. There is also very little transparency or psychological safety. Skip-level managers rarely listen to engineers directly, and feedback often feels filtered through politics rather than facts. In my experience, honest communication is not valued as much as pleasing the right people. Engineering practices are also surprisingly weak for an organization of this scale. Basic development discipline and collaboration standards are inconsistent, and it often feels like there is no solid engineering culture in place. It genuinely makes you wonder how many developers and tech leads truly understand proper Git workflows, iteration management, and collaborative software development practices.
