Do not work here. Ever. - Anonymous employee Sycle Employee Review

* Terrible management * Technical decisions are all over the place * Inconsistent standards * No career advancement * Too many cliques. If you don't get along with the right people, you won't progress and, in fact, you'll probably be let go * Leadership (defined as one or two individual at the very top of the food chain) thinks they need to decide on every little tiny detail but they also do no have enough time to be available for decisions which makes things awkward, puts projects in jeopardy or just outright stalls work * Not enough trust to do your job unless you're one of the handful of people at the top who's been there for a long time and is part of this "clique" * Sometimes you are micromanaged and sometimes you are not given enough detail * When discussions are taking place to solve issues, leadership sets the example of rudeness. They interrupt you, often do not let you finish your thoughts, assume they know what you're going to say and shut you down far too eagerly * Emotions are easily a part of meetings at random moments and make things awkward. Unfortunately, leadership are the most often the ones making emotionally based decisions * Improper or inappropriate feedback on your progress. One day you're doing really well, the next, someone erupts about something you did and says you've always been doing poorly * As others have stated here in their reviews, you can be fired literally overnight with not so much as a warning * Churn on developers both with developers who stick around (several developers got shuffled around to different projects, sometimes week after week, because they didn't "fit in") or developers come and go from the company entirely * When not enough movement is made internally, contractors are hired and are not held to the same standard as everyone else, which only adds technical confusion and complications that end up on the internal teams shoulders to fix So much more One of the missions in my life, moving forward, is to recommend everyone stay away from Sycle whether someone solicits me for the advice or not.
