Minpunten
This startup perpetuates all the worst stereotypes of the industry and has no interest in addressing them. They promote an unhealthy working culture by defaulting all employees to sign away their working hours limit and stating they must work as many hours as required to get the job done. The CEO is unprofessional and there seems to be no balancing force - a common issue when the Cteam are all friends. No one in the Cteam has had experience in their role beforehand and it is apparent in every interaction that doesn’t go their way. There is little room for creativity at every stage. The engineering team is extremely siloed and this is encouraged in the name of efficiency. People are pressured to pick up the tickets they will simply do fastest. It is frowned upon to refuse to pair all day, day after day. The team has no input on big picture priorities. There are no trained line managers or Human Resources, which has resulted in a friends-first hierarchy. The CTO is line managing the entire engineering team and clearly does not want to. The company has a pitiful understanding of mental health issues and no interest in learning. They do not approach personal issues with compassion. They have lied about contract terms during the recruitment process and reneged on them after. They initially provided no company sick pay, amended to 5 days a year. There is only one woman on the engineering team. It is not a welcoming place for minorities.
