Pros
The best thing about Spectrm is that some really amazing and driven people work there. There were four-day work weeks during the summer, which was great.
Cons
The company has had issues with communicating and being transparent with its employees, which has led to information spreading by rumors rather than openness and honesty. This means that once in a while there would be rather shocking announcements at the very last moment, rather than preparing staff in time for potential changes. Of course, this leads to a constant feeling of uncertainty and worry among the employees. In the same manner, they have a tendency to fire people without any warning and cutting them off everything immediately, without any further communication. Unfortunately, the modus operandi in these situations is ghosting as soon as they've given the news. Another MO is attempting to avoid paying what they owe employees they lay off. It’s also a very stressful environment to work in with very little, if any, time for personal development. And from above it seems like they’re expecting a rapid production line which means that quality suffers a lot. I wouldn’t invest my time with Spectrm given that even if you are being promised unicorns and rainbows, the risk of being let go at any moment, whether you are a new joiner or have been with the company for some time, is always present. The company culture took a real downturn during my time there.
