No career growth - poor management - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Bit Byte Technology

Nothing seemed to be Good There

Some people in our community constantly preach religion and present themselves as ideal leaders or mentors. But in reality, they are the perfect example of “sweet words from bad people.” Using religion as a cover, they build a saint-like image, while inside their company they are toxic and abusive. They target simple, needy job seekers with big promises of learning and growth. But once you join, there is no real learning, no proper leadership, no structure. Work is rushed using AI, full of errors, and juniors end up damaging their own skills instead of growing. The worst part is salary. They create artificial financial crises, delay payments for months, and give partial salaries in small amounts. Many employees are forced to resign, and even then, their dues are never cleared. Management is incompetent but acts like a big brand. They overprice poor-quality products, fail to understand the market, and blame employees for everything. They hire cheap juniors, expect unrealistic results, and replace them quickly when expectations are not met. They show a nice environment with religious practices, but it is just a trap. In reality, they exploit people, sell false dreams, and survive through deception. Be careful of such companies and people. Outwardly they look pious, but inside they are the complete opposite.

There’s no office politics among colleagues, and everyone is very friendly. When I was there, there was quite a bit of flexibility; we could work remotely if needed, and being a little late to the office wasn’t a big issue. But now they have removed all those flexibilities. Because of the salary problems, almost 80% of the team has already left the company. So right now, there’s hardly any real pros left.

The salary is below average, and even that is not paid on time. Whenever it’s time for 2-3 people to get an increment, the company suddenly claims to have a financial crisis. No employee has ever received an increment on time - it usually takes 4-6 months and repeated requests. When multiple employees’ increment periods overlap, management again creates a fake “financial crisis” and delays or stops salary payments. Despite not paying salaries on time, the company sponsors community events and hosts office parties with outsiders. They can’t pay old employees but keep hiring new ones. Even ex-employees don’t receive their pending salaries after leaving. Their words are never consistent - they approve remote work but then message employees at 11 PM to come to the office the next morning. Projects are also poorly managed. Whenever a client requests a feature, the management always says, “It’s just a 2-minute task,” no matter how complex it is.
