Svantaggi
Since 2024 with new CTO everything changed. He destroyed the whole engineering culture and left. More people hired to do the same. So, this in not the best place if you are looking for long term employment. Be aware about Traditional pre-Christmas/NY redundancies almost every year. They are thinking it is a gift to get redundancy notice in the middle of November. Company constantly replacing NZ/US staff to Philippine. If you are experienced engineer you will be really annoyed by some immature new processes introduced this year. Recent overgrown bureaucracy with a lot of new $$$ VP/Head/Principal positions, not much $ left for engineers. A lot of great talking by management, terrible actions from them. AI is overused to generate a lot of noise. Top IT management has hallucinations to replace everyone by AI and Philippines. Only one working day from home, overcrowded office, not enough desks, working at benches, lunches are destroyed by falling out of the fridge. Top IT management completely ignore leaders, no two way communications, no point to raise any issues. New annoying bureaucratic procedures completely makes no sense. Top engineers with many years at EROAD are leaving. Overall feeling that everything will collapse at some point. PS: Please, ignore the recent 5-stars review. I suspect it was written by particular IT top manager, anyway not by ordinary Team Leader. That person has enormous sense of ego and vulnerability, he simply could not listen. You can see the tone in which that review was written. Also, David K mentioned there was doing really bad job and he left after EROAD lost major US customer. That could be found in the news.
