Good company - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Convex

- the company culture is great: many of our employees share similar values and all give it their all toward the growth of this company - the technology is IMPRESSIVE: the vision of the leadership and founders has come to fruition. We are leading the pack as a best in class unicorn product that is helping advance the Commercial Services industry, one revenue team/company at a time. - the pay is very competitive and rewarding - product: the product has changed, for the better, YoY. It takes time to get the product to where it needs to be, it takes everyone joining together as a team to advance this company

- I don’t have many - it’s definitely a fast growing and fast-paced environment. If you don’t work hard day in and day out, it might not be a good fit. - we have a big goal - but sometimes it takes patience for us to get there. Piece by piece, brick by brick (sometimes feels like progress isn’t being made, but in reality it is!)

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
