Vantaggi

N/A. (Note: If there were any positive aspects of your experience, it's beneficial to include them here to provide a balanced perspective.)

Svantaggi

My tenure at the company was marked by a series of management and culture challenges that significantly impacted my professional development and overall well-being. Despite having a clear agreement on a two-month notice period after the initial six months, I was abruptly terminated with only a one week notice, which was not only against our agreement but also communicated with a threat against pursuing any action on my part. The management's approach to conflict and decision-making was profoundly unproductive, often resulting in internal fights that the senior management did nothing to mitigate and, in some cases, even encouraged. This created an environment where certain individuals, acting as gatekeepers, stifled innovation and discouraged any form of challenge or feedback, often dismissing substantial evidence and insights that contradicted their views. The insistence on adhering to these gatekeepers' methods, despite clear evidence of their inefficacy, fostered a toxic work culture that prioritized conformity over creativity and efficiency. For those considering employment here, I recommend doing thorough research into the company culture and management practices. If possible, reach out to current and former employees to get a well-rounded understanding of what to expect. It's essential to be aware of the challenges you might face and consider whether the environment aligns with your professional goals and values.

Vantaggi

* Can't complain about the salary * Tech stack is relatively modern and legacy tech is few and far in between - something good especially for a financial institution * Hardware purchases reimbursed * Willing to hire remotely outside of their home country * Relatively generous time off, but if you are hired as a contractor you are not eligible for public holidays

Svantaggi

* Timely communication is one of the challenges, and yet you will get chewed out if you are delayed on your own work, which isn't even your doing in the first place because of others' delays blocking your own work * Knowledge is siloed more often than not, so it is hard to work independently - a key requirement to enabling remote, asynchronous work * Feature roadmaps are, for some reason, non-flexible. Timelines are not negotiated with development teams and are solely decided by the business stakeholders. As a result, crunch time is not uncommon. Especially considering one has to juggle production support and mentoring and supporting colleagues.
