Beware of the CTO

Anonymous employee

Pros

The business idea is fantastic

Cons

The CTO who is 6 years out of college and never managed before has very unrealistic and inconsistent expectations. He praises you one week for meeting his extremely aggressive demands and then disparages you the next week as being too slow and claiming his earlier praise didn't count. This has led to severe turnover in the engineering department as well as extremely slow hiring and understaffing.

GovWell Response

We operate with a deliberately high bar for performance, speed, and ownership. Direct feedback is given frequently and we move fast. This environment works very well for some people and is not the right fit for everyone. As a result, we have intentionally parted ways with some early members of our engineering team who were not aligned with our pace or expectations. We are cautious about hiring because building the right culture early matters more to us than growing headcount quickly. We believe GovWell is a generational opportunity to transform the way that government works in the United States for the better. We will only achieve this goal by creating an exceptional product and keeping our engineering team lean, quick, and talent-dense.

Pros

culture here is genuinely special — BD especially has a real team feel where everyone is locked in, pulling in the same direction, super collaborative. Most people here are young, hungry, and actually want to be here. This makes a huge difference and is unlike any corporate environment ive been in before. Leadership invests in the team and there's real momentum behind the product, our GTM motion, hiring, etc.

Cons

Growing pains are real. The company is scaling so fast that we're literally running out of physical space
