Run away, as fast as you can

Pros

Their was a good team hired to get this project off the ground. From the CTO down, the people were solid and this project has incredible potential.

Cons

The 3 owners have no idea how to run a software company. They micromanage and frankly, in my time there, I found out this was their 2nd attempt to get this off the ground. RP employees were threatened with being fired, berated and treated like crap. Upper management attempted to mitigate this, but the meddling of ownership, along with an inability to listen to the people they hired, made it an unbearable place to work.

Pre-Revenue Start Up to avoid

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- The app could have potential, given the industry it targets and lack of competitors with good apps in that space - Backend API adheres strictly to being vanilla Laravel, with good code coverage for unit tests

Cons

- Product management side of the business is absolutely terrible. Lack of proper sprint planning / kick off, lack of information in epic/story tickets (empty descriptions, lacking of wireframes, no PRD/requirements). This keeps being one of the top 3 issues brought up every sprint review for the past 6+ months - Sprint planning happens after the sprint has already started - They hired a product owner but then shortly after fired her and didn't refill the position; tickets were getting better at that point but then reverted back - High turnover rate for every department - OT / Working on weekends is expected and encouraged - CEO's first time ever dealing with managing a company in the Software Engineering space and doesn't understand the process. He will often complain and rant in Slack - CEO calls Engineers out publicly in Slack saying things like "What am I even paying you for?" - Company has been late in making payments to all employees. During an all hands meeting the CEO was given a list of questions that were submitted anonymously and he avoided answering the majority of them, even making jokes. - Employees weren't notified in any sort of adequate time on the 'delay'. Everyone was informed the day before pay day at the end of the month.

Just don't

Pros

- pretty cool idea - worked with some nice people that I still keep contact with

Cons

- doesnt pay on time - micromanages - CEO has no idea what he is talking about, and make sure everyone follows his non-senses or he will get mad. He might be successful in other areas but honestly, just don't work on a software company or hire people under you who understands - Felt like the CEO was pissed for taking money out of his pocket to pay people because the company wasn't performing well in terms of timeframe. Instead of doing a self-evaluation and see how they can improve, all I saw was ranting at lower employees. They want a genius but paying for a junior. - No support at all to employees
