Running on Fumes - Software Developer Octane5 Employee Review

Pay isn't very competitive; lackluster benefits. Tech stack is relatively stale and uninspired. Perpetual dev process erosion fueled by deal-chasing and CTO micromanagement. Lack of competent upper- and middle-management results in stagnant career growth for devs and difficulties/misunderstandings/hostility between departments. Minimal opportunities for growth via promotion; extremely flat org chart. Low/no-feedback environment for devs. Performance review or feedback of any kind was rare in my experience. Overtly political office environment may be alienating if you're not likeminded. Workday drinking in-office is allowed.
