Good company to work - Recensione dipendente - Software Development Engineer (SDE) presso Heady

Caring and supportive colleagues. Lots of flexibility. Great clients and smart management. Low ego, high EQ. Really blown away by the empathy management displays. Heady has an amazing culture and foundation in place and I'm excited to see this continue to flourish. Certified great place to work! Our feedback is taken seriously and changes are implemented. Fun Slack culture, team outings and tools to build connections within a globally distributed team.

Benefits can be further improved upon but the company is open to changes and is making them.

Overall, the people you work with are nice, and the company offers unlimited PTO – but that's about all it has to offer.

The company looks impressive from the outside, but the reality inside tells a different story. It operates like a typical small startup that talks big but delivers little. Hardworking employees are often overlooked, while bonuses go to those who appear to 'save the day' – a puzzling leadership strategy. They make promises but don't hold themselves accountable. The focus is heavily on short-term profits and individual employee output, with little regard for long-term growth or strategy. Opportunities for advancement are limited, and this is unlikely to be a stepping stone for your career—if anything, it could set you back. Compensation is below market rates, and genuine contributions often go unrecognized. They lay off employees without prior notice, citing market conditions, yet at the same time, they distribute bonuses to others – a decision that reflects a significant level of unprofessionalism and disrupts fairness within the company. The business outlook doesn’t look great, as they have admitted many times themselves. Consider exploring other options before committing to this company.
