Svantaggi
On 11/5/24, Solugen cut one third of their workforce due to their financial outlook at risk. It's not a stable company to join. I highly discourage anyone considering joining Solugen. If you do join, you will find yourself to get asked to be up and running from the get-go without any proper training with the pressure to lose job otherwise. Even if you work hard by sacrificing your personal life and produce amazing outcome, you won't get recognition, unless you are favored by the co-founders, or other people will take credit for the great work you did. Even if you are good, the chance is very high you will most likely end up exiting Solugen due to the toxic culture or layoff. After you leave, they will manipulate people's mind and say that the reason for layoff was due to performance, not because of company's financial situation. This has been repeating multiple times over the years. They keep emphasizing company still has money in the bank, which seems very suspicious why they keep bringing that up. It makes people think they might actually not have enough money left in the bank account, so they had to let people go, then blaming on people's performance to cover up their unstable financial situation. Toxic & aggressive work culture. No work life balance. Favoritism is prevail. They exploit employees - Extremely Heavy workload, emphasis on high speed. No appreciation nor recognition on the hard work people do. Broken communication, silos, missing information in transit due to the emphasis on high speed. People are told to execute tasks at fast pace without much context provided. Due to the emphasis on fast speed, people don't have enough time to explain things to the person who will execute. Often important details and background info are missing in transit. As the result, it often leads to misaligned outcome and re-work.
