Pros

- Free tea and coffee

Cons

I agree wholeheartedly with the other 3 reviews I read before I wrote this. I wish I could give 0 or negative stars. In my honest opinion, the problems all lie with the CEO: - Extremely egotistical - Very condescending - Makes up facts on the fly to support arguments - Ignores advice of developers who have many years industry experience - Fosters cult like "us-vs-them" atmosphere, often telling of other companies that "had it in" for Euclideon - Is expert manipulator employing gaslighting and other techniques - Often tells inappropriate stories putting down people's beliefs. - Once told all staff to deactivate LinkedIn and other accounts out of fear staff would be poached. - Would often jump to ridiculous conclusions. Sadly, working at Euclideon led to me having anxiety and other health issues directly as a result of how I was legally threatened on my last day. Perhaps I shouldn't have expected anything less. Writing this review itself brings back many bad memories of a time I wish I could forget. Beware this company at all costs.

Pros

Some interesting projects and technologies.

Cons

Many of the issues originate with management. It sets the tone of the company with overt bigotism, and willingness to outright lie to employees to create a toxic workplace culture. An absence of any meaningful HR, coupled with an avoidance of confrontation leads to any conflict being resolved with mob mentality, rumor mongering, and gaslighting tactics designed to keep employees complacent. The company itself lacks any focus, with more projects than staff; leading to rushed prototype style code, consistent reinvention of the wheel, and a literal graveyard of dead and abandoned projects. Staff turnover is high. Career progression and performance reviews are virtually non-existent. Salary increases are offered in response to threats of resignation. Experience is viewed more as a liability than a benefit, with juniors more valued for their cheap labour and willingness to accept unorthodox business processes. Mentoring is limited (only 1 senior programmer remains), with the majority of staff fresh out of school and tasked with project lead positions.
