      Good for every other roles except for software engineers

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      1.Friendly Cofounders, CEO 2.Good stock options. 3.Company events. 4.Friendly people. 5.CEO gives monthly company report which keeps every employee on the same page. 6.Company benefits.

      Cons

      1.Unrealistic expectations, goals set by Managers based on their experience. If manager with 12 +years of experience can fix the issue in 1 hour does not mean to expect the same by other devs. Because every dev is different with varied experience. Hires very less developers , but expects to complete 3 to 4 task in a day which cannot be pushed to next day. Hence increasing stress and anxiety in dev even after working day and night. Task deadlines/ story points are allocated hourly basis during sprint planning. Does not follow daily basis sprint . 2.If you failed to deliver one task due to the requirements change , you will be judged for the entire year on the same thing no matter how well you perform later. Due to this you might end up questioning /doubting your own abilities and skills. 3.Mental health discussions in the company doesn't have any value especially for developers. 4. Unlimited sick leaves has no meaning. If developers takes sick leaves you will see HR questioning you even though you were sick. And expects to change it to paid leaves. 5.Lack of communication, support from the coworkers(developers) of same team because there is no time to breath and every developer is piled up with lot of tasks for the day and has no time to answer or help their own team member/coworker. When asked for help from the coworker, asks to wait for the entire day which makes you to ask for help from other team. 6. Work from anywhere option is not for everyone in the company(HR and some other roles get to work from anywhere). 7. Any concerns raised will be just heard but later ignored.

      Software Engineers stay away!

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      1 Nice CEO 2 Nice People in other departments

      Cons

      1 Very lengthy meetings, sometimes you will find yourself talking for hours for a fix and not making a valuable progress, you just get your time wasted 2 Very poor testing strategies in development alongside legacy code. This leads to constant issues with platform being down or a lot of issue 3 you have to be, in words of a leader, “proactive” in terms of keeping track that every single deployment happen. They will judge your sense of ownership if you don’t have 5+ tabs and a slack channel to keep track of this 4 They will pick your ideas but not giving a recognition at all and they will end making it bad 5 Leaders are okay working 16 hours per day and if you don’t make progress like them working a 9 to 5 they will make useless questions like “how come?” not to learn about you and your status but to gaslight anything you say 6 The only topic with old engineers is work, if you feel bad or sick do not expect to feel listened. They will be like “oh that’s bad” and then move to work topic conversation 7 If you feel like you’re not performing well, better start getting a new job because you will be fired at will. No warnings, not intention to make thing better for you, they got the value they wanted from you, you will be thrown away in a 10 mins call that doesn’t explain why you got fired and no chance to say goodbye to anyone 8 You will see that people are not anymore on your team but there will be no chat about it. They will not worry about the anxiety that can cause on people
