RoboMQ is very focused on work life balance. We like to adhere to office hours and do not expect people to put unreasonable hours at work. I believe most of us should be able to work and be an excellent performer with 8-9 hours of "focused "effort. If you can't that is a lack of skills needing work. That brings to the crux of the matter. You are likely one of those let go on the performance review because you failed to perform despite given coaching, feedback and more than a year to perform. Your failure to perform does not make workplace toxic nor suggest a lack of work life balance at RoboMQ. I would recommend taking this event as a learning opportunity to invest in yourself.

Pros

Good product that still needs a lot of work, but has potential if management steps back and actually listens to feedback that is shared Good people there, hard workers

Cons

Role expectations shifted significantly after hire Minimal to no formal training or mentorship; onboarding relied almost entirely on self-learning through AI tools and recorded materials Inconsistent and sometimes conflicting managerial feedback regarding performance and readiness High employee turnover, which impacted team continuity and knowledge transfer Lack of established internal HR or training infrastructure, resulting in unclear policies and processes Expect to work well over 40 hours per week or you will be judged The environment was unstable and poorly set up for success
