Unfocused Company - Anonymous employee n.io Employee Review

I love working alongside smart, approachable, friendly people. The culture pushes you to be the best you can be and deliver quality results. The technology is groundbreaking and has real potential to change the world. One of the better environments I've worked in in the past couple of years. I have been working at n.io for just over a year, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

If you're looking for a strict 9-5 job, this may not be the place for you. We have passionate employees who believe in the vision for the future of n.io and will put in extra time or effort to finish their tasks. As startups go, just because you're hired in one area does not mean you won't be helping out in other areas. This can be a lot of fun and a great learning experience, but also may not be for everyone.

What the reviews say about it being a dynamic, fun environment are true. You are given a lot of license to explore solutions to problems.

First a few: - the technology isn't all that revolutionary. To summarize it: they are trying to write a programming language. Many of the problems they are solving could be solved much better by developing a few awesome python, golang, etc modules and writing code in one of those well developed dynamic(ish) languages. - the management is terrible Now, onto the main con: n.io management is lying to you already! All (or almost all) of the positive reviews posted here are probably fake. Nobody that I ever worked with felt the way that the reviews say. Note the similarity of the reviews writing style, the fact that they were posted within a few months of each other, and the fact that they basically read like an add for a job. In particular, the following statements are the complete opposite of my time there: - The open door policy really feels "open door." - Questions and concerns don't go unheard. I mean, just read this and try to take it seriously: "Some of the most intelligent, driven, and hardworking people I know. Not to mention funny and kind-hearted, even during chaotic moments" Sure, there are people like that at a company... But everyone? No, this review is a fake, and so are (most) of the others.
