Attractive pay, but toxic culture — not worth it - Recensione dipendente - Senior Full Stack Developer presso TryHackMe

Nothing that is worth mentioning.

It's very common for a start-up to reach a stage where they need to bring in an experienced CEO to replace young tech founders, and TryHackMe has reached this critical juncture. The product is great and has a lot of potential. The team is full of extremely talented individuals. Unfortunately, rotten apples in leadership are holding the company back, and that's a real shame. The two co-founders have no business acumen. They also seem to think they're experts in design, marketing, sales, you name it…go figure. TryHackMe is an HR/cultural nightmare. There is a well-meaning HR team, but no meaningful HR work is being done due to toxic "leadership." For example, the co-founders refuse to hold any version of an all-hands meeting because it's "too expensive." Yet they're confused as to why not everyone feels connected to the mission. Hmm, maybe it's because no one actually talks about it.  Next, the pay and "benefits." Co-founders love to shout from the rooftops about how the company is financially bootstrapped and stable. This sounds great until you realise it's mostly because they're paying people well below market rate and offer no real benefits. This company is the tech equivalent of Shein. If you want to be underpaid, undervalued, micromanaged, and spoken down to, this is the place for you! For everyone else, hold onto your self-respect and run far, far away.

very good and collaborative team

Overworking is a must if you want to keep your job, low pay (location based) which is racist. They force you to install monitoring software, and the only benefit you will get is your actual salary (don't expect any pay raise). Overall just not worth it.
