Salary Delays, Mismanagement, and Zero Transparency - Senior Software Developer Estrrado Employee Review

1. Salaries are often delayed without clear communication, and even when they finally come through, they're not paid out to everyone at the same time. Employees are forced to find other ways to arrange money or delay essential expenses while waiting weeks for overdue pay. 2. Basic employee benefits just don’t exist. Performance reviews are more of a formality, you fill out forms, but there’s no real feedback or follow-up. There’s no clarity around how salary changes are decided, and overall, there’s a lack of transparency when it comes to growth or recognition. 3. Management avoids team discussions during issues like salary delays and instead speaks to people one-on-one giving different explanations. These contradictions surface quickly because colleagues are transparent with each other, creating confusion and a sense that concerns don’t really matter. 4. Management often prioritizes company’s interests first instead of solving problems, so they change rules to silence employees from raising the same concerns again. 5. Overtime is common, but it’s unpaid and unacknowledged. Even after working late, you’re still expected to show up and work full hours the next day. Deadlines are often unrealistic, and when things go wrong, the blame falls on employees. There are no added benefits or appreciation for the extra effort. 6. Project management is messy and inconsistent. Internal processes lack structure, documentation is poor, and communication across teams can be chaotic. This makes collaboration harder than it needs to be and slows everything down. 7. When you’re inside the company, you’re forced to wait endlessly for your salary - sometimes a month, sometimes even longer; now imagine the nightmare of trying to get your pending payments after exit. Even then, management still expects your support post-relieving, while withholding the money you’ve already earned.
