Vantaggi

Work life balance, 100% remote and dedicated time to pursue multiple areas of interest.

Svantaggi

Bytecode seems to have always struggled with growth. The company seems like in its earlier days it was probably a lot of fun to work for. In reality it created an OG crew who can practically have immunity and treat anyone as they desire. I have been on the receiving end of this many times. The projects themselves are hit or miss but not the end of the world. The worst part is arguably the turnover. It’s not uncommon to join the daily meeting to hear someone is no longer with the company, often times multiple people. Consistently we’re told about our low turnover but in the past 1-2 years it has increased significantly. You’re told if you have any questions to talk to your advisor who will tell you they can’t really share much. It’s created a very uneasy feeling coming to work everyday wondering if you’ll be next. I’ve seen incredible talent get canned, while OG talent that’s turned mediocre continues to thrive. There’s also a big gap in terms of delivery managers. Some are amazing, some will throw you under the bus in front but of a client. Overall it’s an environment you can’t trust, just get your work done and keep your head down.

Vantaggi

Lots of smart people to pull experience from. Onboarding is great and makes you feel empowered to learn, mess up, and learn from your mistakes. Mentors were fantastic and had a wealth of advice to get me through onboarding. Had a feeling like I found a place I could call home and was looking forward to meeting everyone in the coming weeks at the offsite.

Svantaggi

I left my previous job for this, unfortunately burning bridges. I was drawn to the opportunity to build my skills at Bytecode and learn from their team throughout onboarding. It felt like a supportive atmosphere and all of the feedback I was receiving was positive praise. Days before our big offsite meeting, the rug was pulled from under me! You're told to expect a call from HR somewhere around the 60 day mark so it didn't ring too many alarms when the request for a morning call came around the 35 day mark. I join the call and I'm told that they didn't meet revenue targets and a doing a group layoff and I'm part of it. No further explanation. I'm logged out of my account and access is closed within a minute of the call. Later I find out that the rest of my entire new hire group was let go without notice. The impression I got from this is that Bytecode doesn't plan long term or they have a very sloppy way of planning resource management. In another comment they mentioned a lot of thought goes into their decisions but it didn't seem like much thought went into this one..

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad our onboarding and mentorship made a positive impact, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointment caused by the layoff. This was the first in Bytecode’s history, and we’re actively reflecting on how we can strengthen long-term planning to better support our team. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
