Great teaching from the team

Management was in constant flux

- So many talented people in the office. You can always get technical help from the others. If you a junior, this is a place that you can get knowledge from. - The physical environment is good: great office location; great open-office; great daily benefit (massage, kitchen etc.) - Flexible at work. Work from home is acceptable. - Sales and product delivery know what they are doing.

- Management is a joke. The company was growing fine in 2016 after the acquisition: people were passionate about what they do and opened to change; however, the management decided to micro-manage the office for some unknown reasons. There was some major loss in the engineering department and the management doesn't seem to care. After many attempts of changing the processes, they still don't understand that they are the problem. - The upper level of the company still thinks that the core business is just selling labours when it is already directly competing in the software industry. Meanwhile, they keep cutting the operation cost in the engineering department. - CEO has ZERO insights on software and has no idea how to manage the company besides saying good words in meetings. - A software company that is totally product driven: product team decides everything regardless of the technology. They do not understand the concept of technical debt, the idea of agile, and the value of software infrastructure. They just want the product works. - The above cons are causing a discouragement on engineering department and a potential long-term damage to the business.
