Pros

Good product and that's it.

Cons

- Salary cheating – bonus that will be promised you will never get. It is just the way to cut the price. - Salary level - should be not more than you can get in the rural area of France like Lille or better less. - You will not get software and hardware products - to full fill your tasks that were promised. - Disrespectful behavior and being mean to people in case of a tiny mistake. - High turnover- people can leave the company after 2 weeks from their start, as cofounders can decide that they did not show a result. - Not a remote company – as it was claimed, in some locations it is obligatory to visit the office. Founders changed their minds from what they said at the beginning. - People don’t have a voice in the company – you have no way to argue or share your opinion. - Lack of management skills - don’t be lured by Stephane Derosiaux who makes the first impression as a trustworthy person who needs some help. All that was mentioned above is his management style or smth that he has copied from his former managers and thinks that how the leader should be. - Best decision is to wait and see, as soon they will run out of money and founders will learn a lesson from investors by becoming free from their responsibilities and company.

Conduktor Response

Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your negative experience with Conduktor. We are a little confused though about some of the information you have mentioned in your review and feel it is quite misleading to readers. We are as transparent as possible on all of our job specs and contracts on whether a role is remote or hybrid. This is something that is clear to see and is communicated from the outset. Based on the location you mention + the reference to our CTO we believe you are likely a part of / were a part of our engineering team. Bonuses are not something we offer to our engineering team and we are surprised to hear this mentioned in the review. It is not something that would be promised to any engineer joining Conduktor. We offer a stipend to cover extra hardware costs. If this is something you do not know how to claim please speak to our finance team to learn how you can expense anything. Finally, Stephane has been very open with our engineering team about this review and has taken the time to speak with everyone on the team to find out if anyone is feeling this negatively. We would hate for someone to feel like they cannot speak up or to be unhappy at Conduktor on a daily basis. If you are still with the company we would love for you to either speak with Stephane or the People team about how you are feeling so we can go forward from there. Kind Regards, Francesca Head of Talent

Pros

Company is quickly building out marketing and sales in the US. VERY fun and exciting if you like to be part of the earlier phases of growth. It's a solid group of leaders here too. The CEO also recently moved from the UK headquarters to the US to support the expansion. It's a driven, fun, informal, collaborative team. I still feel connected with UK team members too.

Cons

Same growing pains that startups go through. We're creating processes and filling in gaps as we go (which is part of the fun).
