Toxic management - Software Engineer Teraki Employee Review

Colleagues (non management) are very nice, helpful, supportive. Would have been a great team if not most people left.

Most knowledgeable colleagues have left the company. The company lacks good leadership, good treatment of employees and communication is really, really bad. They lack concrete vision and the required technical understanding of what they want to achieve, switch direction every ~6 months, refuse to listen to their engineers and scientists - both regarding short-term projects and long-term directions, and appreciation is non-existent. There's no product and there never was one, because they never had the patience to become superior in one field. Hence, no stable income and they live from research funds + some investments and wasted money due to tons of mistakes - large and small, but still they refuse to learn as there's zero self-reflection and retrospectives across decision makers. They would are good at selling dreams, the informal motto among employees is: over promise and under achieve. If you want to waste your lifetime in a hamster wheel rushing down the abyss - be ready to hit the ground and not being paid in the end. So, do yourself a favor and look for alternatives - it's not difficult to find a better one, basically any company should do.

* Helpful colleagues * Talented researches and engineers

* High turnover rate: a lot of people have left the company * Company is struggling to pay salaries on time * A few employees have been fired because there was no money to pay the salaries * Little transparency between management and employees: you are sometime not even notified if the salary will be late or if they stopped paying your health insurance * I feel like there's little growth opportunities
