Small Fast-Paced Team - Software Engineer, Backend Back Employee Review

- Work in a team of driven, pragmatic people from mixed backgrounds, where every opinion matters - Have a direct impact on the product - Get involved early in feature brainstorms/design - Get the freedom to experiment with ways to improve the product itself or the ways of working

- Pay/benefits not as good as larger companies (but we get some stock options) - Quickly changing environment can be stressful, but that's how startups are... At least there's no pressure on deadline/working hours.

- Small team which makes it easier for everyone to be involved - The product itself has potential

- Lack of transparency in all levels - A lot of politics that caused a high turn over rate in the company (more than 70% in the first 18 months) and mostly from engineering - Unlike other startups where I worked, creating a good work environment wasn't a core value to the founders - The quality of engineering is really poor
