- The company suffers from a deeply toxic culture.
- The CTO, Agoston Torok, functions more as a content marketer than a true technology leader. Their blogs and Reddit presence are filled with glowing portrayals of their work environment, but in practice, the organization is severely lacking in effective people management.
- The company operates with an asynchronous, remote work style. Strangely, the CTO discourages work-related discussions in Slack, viewing them as distractions. This creates an environment where collaboration and communication within the team are severely hampered.
Additionally, he views discussions in GitHub pull requests as arguments rather than productive communication, insisting that PRs be merged without any meaningful dialogue over the comments.
- The team leads are technically proficient but lack essential soft skills. They focus solely on coding, neglecting the well-being and professional development of the employees under their supervision.
- The company fosters a culture of racial discrimination, a reality I experienced firsthand through repeated instances of bias and unfair treatment
