Challenging industry and choatic management
Pros
The domain is really interesting, especially the engineering challenges of distributing and storing large high value assets. There are a handful of supportive and encouraging colleagues that have been with the company for a long time. Engineers have the opportunity to have a lot of hands on experience with current cloud technology.
Cons
Previous reviews are accurate, the company is very amateur and lacks leadership at nearly every level. Communication of expectations is especially problematic. Product objectives are consistently poorly defined without specifications nor designs. Engineers do their best, but the demands from executives are frequent producing dramatic changes in scope which are incredibly disruptive. In the end engineers shoulder all the blame and are not supported by their managers. There is currently a exodus of engineers; everyone on my team have either given notice or are actively looking for other employment. There is definitely a group of favourites run the place and push everyone out. I have been thrown under the bus several times and had others take credit for my work. While some level of work politics is expected at any organisation, it only amplified by the combativeness and arrogant of the CEO.
