      Not worth it - Senior Engineer Trade Republic Employee Review

      1.0

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Fully remote work for most of the engineers and above average compensation.

      Cons

      - Constant layoffs in the name of performance reviews. - No salary increments unless highly visible - Product managers are more like project managers who just follow the chain of command without having any say. - Team members compete with each other because every 6 months 20% of engineers have to be put on PIP and second time you are immediately fired. - Suffocating, people are afraid to speak out. No one dares to ask difficult questions around culture during All Hands meetings.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      1. Smart people 2. Company is growing 3. People are professional and motivated

      Cons

      1. Forced curve means you can work hard and be fired. 20% of the company is fired for performance every 12 months. This leads to politics, the more senior you get. Got unlucky to not work on a critical project - potentially fired. Others in the team are older and better adjusted with management - potentially fired. 2. Salary is not premium enough to justify the effort and risk. You can get a bad rating for being unlucky to be in wrong team or project. 3. No engineering leadership 4. They downlevel you during hiring and promotions take more than hard work and delivery. 5. Senior, Mid all are rated together. Very tough to get rated and promoted as a junior. Overall thankless and similar effort anywhere else would get you more scope, growth, compensation. If you don't want to work hard, then this is not the place for you. If you want to work hard, you could grow more elsewhere.

      We set high standards to keep our company focused and we recognize that this level of ambition creates a demanding environment that may not suit everyone. While we maintain these expectations to drive our mission forward, we appreciate the dedication of those who contribute to our growth.
