Avoid Dev Ops/Engineering Department - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso FluentStream Technologies

Let me start by saying thank you for the feedback. One of our core values is “Continuous Improvement Isn’t Optional”, so with your review, we will do our best to reply with the same mindset. While we are glad to hear that some departments are well rounded and the people are friendly, we are sorry to hear that you did not have a great experience at FluentStream. - We do not have a policy restricting employees from having a second job outside of FluentStream as long as it does not interfere with their day-to-day duties and it is not directly a similar position in the same industry. Transparency is highly-valued by all Streamers and something that we continuously try to improve on, especially as a remote workforce. With monthly meetings where we report on where we stand in our product offering and ensure the team is meeting deadlines, our team is held accountable and must be comfortable working through ambiguity and uncertainty in an ever-changing work environment. - With FluentStream’s commitment to diversity & inclusion, we do not condone a clique mentality. Naturally in positions, there may be more meetings that are necessary due to the nature of the role. Our team does our best to make sure that we are hosting weekly Dev Standups to discuss ongoing projects and Tech Watercooler meetings so that the team feels engaged. Beyond the meetings, we also have an opportunity for the team to meet in person annually to continue to get to know each other for team bonding. - We are fortunate that our CTO has in-depth knowledge on how our product operates and is able to take on the role to develop the product as well. While the last couple of years has been challenging with our CTO taking on the role of managing our proprietary billing system, we have recently pivoted and introduced a new third party billing system that will be implemented soon which will free up time for our CTO to dedicate to the team. - The role of our Chief of Staff is much more than a “glorified assistant to our CTO”. He is a strategic and integral member of our Technology team. He works closely with the CTO, and helps manage and oversee cross-functional projects and initiatives related to technology exploration and acceleration while ensuring overall CTO leadership effectiveness. We hope that this helped address some of the challenges you mentioned in hopes it can provide better clarity for prospective employees.
