Excellent Company - Software Developer bei Solutionpath: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Small intimate work environment, communication

Difficult if senior member leaves

- Some great colleagues and collaboration inside teams

I have worked at a number of tech companies, this by far had the most toxic atmosphere - for numerous reasons. Firstly, cultural: There is a group of senior management and friends that sits at the top of the company and dominates the company culture. This culture is outdated and consists of 'bantering' and exchanges of anecdotes that are almost always insensitive to anyone else listening. A 9am and 5pm mandatory every day meeting consists almost entirely of this groups 'banter'. This culture is alienating to anyone who is not of this persuasion. Any indication that the company cares about mental health and adjacent topics is entirely lip service, with no actual action. The working culture is also awful. Sales are made significantly above and beyond the capacity for delivery. This results in teams having to crunch to appease clients who've been made wildly delusional promises of delivery. This almost always results in both burnout and poor quality delivery, Requiring more crunch and overtime. Overtime was unpaid. Any discussion of the above issues was invariably met with disbelief, questioning of character and encouragements to "pull together for the business".
