Farm of incompetency - Senior Backend Engineer SuperUp Employee Review

* Interesting product * A lot of responsibility * Great opportunities for gaining experience

* No work-life balance: You are frequently asked to stay long hours. Sometimes justified, often pointless without any real reason. * Very low salaries: The industry has a lot to offer compared to SuperUp. If you are looking to be properly paid for your work look elsewhere. * No benefits: no lunch, improper travel expenses and other benefits you get in most high-tech companies. * Horrible management: The only thing they care about is their product and going to market. Employees are the ones who suffer from it in all aspects. Tons of micro-management. Constantly lying to employees about various requests, just feels like you are trying to survive there. * Terrible office: SuperSmall open-space office with crammed tables, small kitchen with tiny table to eat on. 2 Toilets for 40 men. * Inadequete equipment: Your requests for equipment is usually denied unless you are very valuable to the company or from management. Whether that's a computer you need, specific keyboard, mouse or a testing device. * Uncomfortable location, far from the train. If you don't live in Ashdod it's a nightmare to get there.

Easy to apply, even if you’re just starter (good for me)

The only thing was really important for boss is to make money. We’ve changed type of our product couple times to put at least anything to the market, but had almost nothing after 2 yrs of development. Salary was low, we literally “worked for food” for a long time and even for free for a couple first months. Boss’ smooth talking regarding “the great future” instead of any benefits, persistent overtimes and “last minute changes before presentation” made life in RoyalApp really hard.
