Vantaggi
There are no pros at all.
Svantaggi
1. One-Man Dictatorship
The entire company operates under a one-man dictatorship. Every decision—frontend, backend, DevOps, task assignment, and even code reviews—is controlled by a single individual. There is no autonomy or collaborative decision-making. A director was hired later, but in practice functions only as a yes-man with no real authority.
2. Zero Knowledge Transfer or Onboarding
There is absolutely no concept of knowledge transfer. New joiners are given tasks with no documentation, no walkthroughs, and no context. You are simply expected to “figure it out,” regardless of system complexity. This creates unnecessary confusion and slows down productivity.
3. No Formal Communication Culture
There is almost no written communication. Slack messages are routinely ignored, and the only way to get things done is by physically going to someone’s desk and repeatedly following up. This makes work-from-home practically impossible and reflects poor professional discipline.
4. Open Favouritism and Gossip Culture
Decision-making revolves around a small inner circle that enjoys special access and trust. This group frequently engages in gossip and back-channel conversations about others, which is highly unprofessional and toxic. If you’re not part of this circle, your voice does not matter.
5. Unrealistic and Careless Sprint Planning
There is no respect for realistic timelines. Tasks are dumped into sprints with the expectation that they must be completed regardless of whether they require 3, 5 or 7 days of effort. Planning feels careless and disconnected from actual engineering effort, leading to constant pressure.
