• Well-crafted external brand positioning and institutional messaging • Professional contract closure and timely payments • Technically interesting projects

Gap between narrative and reality: Significant disconnect between external messaging (maturity, technical leadership, world-class clients) and operational reality. Execution is reactive and improvised with unclear ownership, limited planning, and constant delivery pressure prioritizing speed over quality and sound engineering practices. This results in a constant firefighting mode that leaves little room for judgment-based senior contribution. Autonomy with surveillance: Seniority framed as independence, but practice includes activity and availability monitoring, justifications for brief absences, and emphasis on visible presence over outcomes. Creates low-trust environment despite autonomy claims. Hybrid contractor model: Fixed 40-hour weeks, availability tracking, and manual time reporting despite independent contractor status. Limited company-defined holidays only; most local holidays require work without extra compensation. U.S. law governs contracts. Retroactive feedback: Concerns surface late as pre-determined conclusions rather than developmental guidance. Functions as evidence-gathering to justify decisions already made, not to enable improvement. Result: Senior professionals are evaluated on subjective signals and visible activity rather than clear expectations and outcomes, leading to burnout and early attrition.

The smartest people you will ever work with, plus they are very easy to deal with and have an excellent attitude.

The pace of work is fast, at a startup level, and it will probably be very difficult if you have distractions at home.
