Pluspunten

Minpunten
Lack of identity, culture, this company is in a permanent struggle to find its way of working Weak management, owner is too old to care about details CTOs come and go frequently, CEO uses them as buffers and scapegoats and hence does not pick the right people with strong skills Lack of technical leadership and empathy, very mediocre staff with some exceptions Fake bonus objectives, low bonuses, low annual salary increase if any (typically 1-3 %) Outdated, old products with bad toolchains which makes development difficult and time consuming Lack of trainings other than baseline health and safety, etc. CEO aims to develop minimum viable products, hence features are not elaborated, algorithms and implementations are often primitive and messy Achievements are not rewarded, company uses and throws away its heroes, some had left with nervous breakdown Shows some symptoms of a classic toxic workplace
