Link11 - my journey - Account Executive Link11 Employee Review

The company has a very flat hierarchy, with only two levels of management above me - my boss and the CTO. The CTO is a very down-to-Earth person and, as the man responsible for much of the software I work on, has responded to my questions quickly and clearly. The company holds regular events where we meet in-person and socialize with members from other departments & the CTO/CEO. The management have been receptive to the issues raised by the team and have implemented a lot of tools/procedures to attempt to improve the team's efficacy.

The company has grown from effectively a one-man effort to a team of 7 backend developers in the last couple of years, with all the associated growing pains. Previously, there was little/no automated testing, no CI/CD pipeline and little/no automated deployment. Working for this company has involved both setting up the systems we intend to use for work, as well as attempting to implement iterative improvements/bug fixes to the products. The tooling is now largely complete, but still has some shortcomings in some places. Many of the projects I work on have been iteratively extended for some 10 years in an undisciplined way, and have accumulated a lot of technical debt. Moreover, even some of the younger projects (written in the last ~2 years) now have high code complexity, with individual functions that are over a hundred lines long and very high branching factors, making them difficult to modify and test.

1. Friendly Team, 2. Quick on-boarding process. 3. CEO, CTO and Head of the departments were down to earth and there are always open for your questions and suggestions. 3. Growing Company which means great learing curve 4. Even though most of the employees work from home, there are regular team meetings to get in touch with everyone. 5. Several training's were organized by the HR team to make on-boarding process easily as quickly as possible.

1. Since the company is having a rapid growth from past few years, there has been a lot of effort by the Management to make several procedures organized (which is excellent), but I feel in some situations the organization could have handled in much better way. 2. I feel getting the whole picture of the company (technically) might take time, as the documentation is missing for old code / modules.
