Vantaggi

Remote work is great - working with some latest .NET tech, generally good rapport amongst engineers - decent remuneration - not a lot of "on call" work etc.

Svantaggi

Toxic leadership; make one mistake and you'll be crucified, often in front of many other team members. Claims to be a no-blame culture and often people are 'called' to explain errors in front of many other folk; Various leaders within software development and I have no idea what they actually do, projects with no ownership, shockingly bad developer experience, hugely understaffed supporting roles (DevOps), if you don't meet unrealistic standards of EVP of Engineering, you may as well be dirt. Engineering leadership needs to take more responsbility instead of blaming everyone beneath them. EVP is aggressive - whilst this can be effective there is a mental health toll. Shockingly bad for your mental health here. There's a 'chosen few' from a similar prior company who can do no wrong. Misogynistic comments from senior leaders are fine (from nearly all leaders). We can do better.

Vantaggi

I would say it’s a remote role that helps you save on gas until they suddenly pull a bait and switch.

Svantaggi

This company is extremely unstable. They will smile to your face one day and let you go the next without any prior warning, leaving you suddenly without income or security for your family. Despite that, they continue sending emails pushing you to participate in company surveys and subtly pressure you to present it as a “great place to work,” which feels very disingenuous. Upper management consistently expects more work for less, and employees are often required to put in long hours. If you try to set reasonable boundaries—like sticking to an 8-hour workday—you’re made to feel like you’re not doing enough. The company also seems to prioritize acquiring other businesses, only to follow up with layoffs shortly after. Leadership messaging is also misleading. In meetings, they encourage employees to “speak to your manager” if workloads become overwhelming, but in reality, that support isn’t there. Additionally, I originally applied for a fully remote position, only to experience a bait-and-switch where I was later required to go into the office. Even then, upper management was rarely present or accessible. Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. If you’re considering working here, be prepared for a very unpredictable Rocy ride!
