Hard Pass - Recensione dipendente - Sales Executive presso Convex

Good leadership and nice people to work with

limited budgets creates constraints in the development

Other engineers are friendly and smart. Overworked, and forced to push subpar code by leadership, the PMs are also trying their best to keep up with the completely random fickle demands of leadership.

1. I think the founders are awful. No one likes the CEO. The CPO just thinks he can lead engineering as well. The avg. pay is not worth the trauma of working here. 2. Too many VPs and closed-door discussions happen for such a small company. It takes them weeks to make a decision on something and expect engineers to turn it around faster. 3. The CS team just directly interacts with engineering for customer help and think this is okay practice. The PMs have not been able to protect the engineering org from spending more time on slack than pushing code 4. There are never any product requirements. I think this isn't on the PMs themselves but we never know exactly what to do in a sprint 5. The new Eng boss seems to have given up. He had great ideas but the ex-consultant CPO runs the engineering team too and I think our SVP knows when things are wrong but can't do anything due to the idiocity of the arrangement
