Toxic environment with poor management - Associate Software Engineer Amla Commerce Employee Review

The leadership team is genuinely supportive and provides clear vision and direction. Lots of amazing people. I built excellent working relationships across departments, and the collaborative culture made managing projects easier. Their software is really good and keeps getting better. Company appreciates innovation. Great long term career possibility. The company is clearly growing and provides chances to professionally grow and actually provides real advancement opportunities. They have a strong track record of promoting from within, so there's a clear career path if you perform well. The company culture values teamwork and professional development.

There can be some growing pains with processes still being refined.

Project managers know what they're doing and champion work. Working on an internal knowledgebase.

Shareholders and upper management have no concept of providing consistent expectations. Codebase is a mess with no prioritization of tackling tech debt. New versions of products don't address any code smells, anti patterns, known issues, or tech debt - just slap a few extra features on it and charge customers for the upgrade. Also waaaaay too enthusiastic about slapping AI on everything with no clear direction.
