Pros

Stack Builders has fostered one of the best work environments I have ever witnessed. Every colleague and peer you have is there to help you. There's nothing resembling competetiveness between employees. Great culture, amazing teammates and great talent as well.

Kontras

Stack Builders has the potential to become an all round great company but the leadership won't let it. Specifically, the CTO lacks the skills necessary to lead, manage, delegate and inspire coworkers. Stack Builders had its peak in late 2023 & early 2024, it was thriving. At that point, CTO was rarely ever seen in meetings, operations decisions, etc. Then, CTO came back and started imposing their view on every aspect of the company. They got rid of the VP of Engineering (one of the brightest Engineers I have seen), and they also micromanaged everyone at his reach. Senior Talent started fleeing the company and hasn't stopped ever since. It's fair to say from those days around 70% of Senior Talent left the company. No one holds the CTO accountable and that's the resulting company you get. I sincerely hope this changes for the greater good of the company, but I doubt it will happen.

Pros

I can only attest for the account I was appointed, the team had amazing individuals with solid development skills. The client was superb. Between us there was a friendly atmosphere full of transparency, open communication, and collaboration.

Kontras

-Lack of benefits. -Lack of growing opportunities (expected from a small company). -An alarming rate of turn-over. -Low salaries. -Short lived accounts and only a few active at any given time. -Vision is not clear, they call themselves a consultancy but don't act as such by deceiving clients to follow technologies they don't need or want without clearly stating what are the benefits. -The CTO is out of his mind and needs to gain some people skills, is condescending toward staff and doesn't listen to suggestions. Lacks vision due to his devotion to impose Haskell and vendor-lock clients due to his passion to the language. -CEO is unqualified for the position but a good person. -The company keeps making mistake after mistake and do not learn from them.

Unfortunately, for contractors, we are prevented by law from offering benefits. The hourly rates that we pay to contractors and full time salaries are competitive and allows us to have such an amazing staff. While we are committed to growing our staff of full-time employees in the Quito office, contractors in general need to find their own learning and growth opportunities, outside of the many tangible ways they can grow within our projects. We work on large software projects, and have a small team so we are limited in terms of the number of projects we can take at any given time. However, most of our clients have worked with us for multiple years, which we think is a very strong testament to our talented team and management. We are sorry about the experience that you had with management. It does not seem reflective of the experience of our current staff. Unfortunately, we have had to part ways with some staff over the last few years due to an unpleasant environment that it created on the team, and we are happy to have an extremely positive team presently who are committed to the success of our projects and company.
