Talented team hampered by poor technical leadership - werkgeversreview Senior Software Engineer/Tech Lead bij JOSYS

Exciting place to build something in the US, but with a stable foundation from it's early Japanese business success

Time zone challenges with most executives being in Japan

I've had a very positive experience working at Josys as a SSE. One of the things I appreciate most is how much ownership and responsibility engineers are given, regardless of title. Senior engineers are trusted to contribute to key architectural and product decisions, and the work you do has a visible impact on the business. The learning opportunities have been excellent. Working on a fast-growing product means you're constantly exposed to new challenges, technologies, and problem-solving scenarios, which has helped me grow both technically and professionally. The leadership team is approachable and genuinely invested in employee growth. They actively create opportunities for engineers to take on larger responsibilities, lead initiatives, and develop skills that help them scale in their careers. The hybrid work model has also been a huge plus. We only come into the office on Tuesdays and Fridays, which provides a great balance between collaboration and focused work. Compared to my previous company, where employees were expected to be in the office every day, this setup has significantly improved my work-life balance and productivity.

Pros Strong learning and growth opportunities High ownership and impact for engineers Supportive and approachable leadership team Flexible hybrid work model (2 days in office) Opportunity to work on meaningful technical challenges
