Team dependant environment with mediocre engineering culture - Software Engineer Payrails Employee Review

None. This isn't hyperbole. There is no good reason to take a job in payrails.

Leadership culture is defined by the co-founders - no transparency, no empathy, no trust. Employees are there to be used and discarded according to their whims, which change weekly. COO often mistakes volume for motivation - if he just shouts loud enough, that'll fix the problem, right? Vision - companies goals change monthly, whatever new thing happens to catch the co-founders eyes, that the flavour of the month. The whole company has to orientate around it, before the COO and CEO realise they can't do it, and pivot again. If it leaves carnage in its wake, they'll blame the employees, because it will never be their fault. Complete and total lack of leadership. CEO may as well live on the moon, COO can't be trusted. Will say one thing and do another. Zero consistency, and zero regard for employee impact. Culture of leadership self obessision. This company is built on the ego's of two men. It's all they care about. Lack of support and systems. Employees are given nothing to make them successful, and when things break, which they do all the time, the CEO and COO seek to blame the employees, not the lack of systems. Cheap, cheap company. This company tries to cut corners on everything, and it shows in its product, how it treats its employees and its customers. Product - mostly vapourware, and what little actually exists is both simultaneously generic and impossible to implement. People would rather quit than implement this product Trajectory. It has one, just not the one they'd like.

Office in the center, interesting product

I want to agree with every single negative feedback you can see in this website. The company culture is extremely toxic, none of the leaders can be trusted, as they play their own game. No constructive feedback, no empathy. Neither you will be trusted to have an ownership - the CEO controls everything, micromanages you as well even if you don't report directly to him As I worked there, I almost never had proper weekends, as it was expected that you would add some changes to your presentations, tasks etc even during the weekend. The management team doesn't trust employees - or you should play by their toxic rules if you want to get promoted. If you're not an engineer, you're less important and not being seen as equal team member. If you don't want to get sick because of stress or get panic attacks, don't even apply there. I have never seen such a dysfunctional, toxic and egocentric management, culture and environment.
