No Long Term Vision - werkgeversreview Software Engineering bij Labviva

Labviva is a genuinely great place to work. The company has built a culture that feels both positive and collaborative, people here really care about each other and about the mission. There’s a strong emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and creating space for everyone’s ideas to be heard. You’re encouraged to bring your full self to work, and leadership models that openness every day. The environment is fast-paced (it’s a growing startup!) but it’s also supportive. Colleagues are smart, driven, and approachable, and there’s a real sense of teamwork across departments. The leadership team is transparent and accessible, they communicate through all hands meetings and are genuinely invested in professional development and employee well-being.

Typical growing pains of a scaling startup, but leadership listens and acts on feedback.

good dev ops team, fun problem sovling

The culture tends to be insular — social dynamics are cliquey and it can be difficult to break into established groups, especially as a newer employee. There were also noticeable patterns in layoff decisions that raised serious questions about equity and fairness. On the engineering side, there's a persistent misalignment between product and engineering that creates friction and slows execution. A significant amount of time gets directed toward efforts that don't move the needle, which becomes demoralizing when you're trying to do meaningful work. Also very clearly racist.
