Terrible, Horrible Company to work for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch on fridays.

Cons

Where to begin? Bullying. Over worked, under paid staff. Managers don't care. CEO is seen as god, everyone else is expendable. Totally self deluded company. Promised everything, you get nothing. Extremely high staff turn over. Everything week there's leaving drinks on a friday. The management act like you're lucky to have a job there and don't mind telling you that. There's so so many more but even thinking about the company and how it treats the staff is making me angry, so I'll leave it there.

Pros

Good Money Lots of aws They have enough money to fight through bad decisions.

Cons

Bad technology choices(which is fine) *but* committed to purely for political reasons. Strange tribal nature caused by a few individuals. Leaders prefer to leave decisions to lower level employees and blame them when things go wrong. Lack of direction from leaders. Infighting in the lower levels due to leadership style. Character sniping. Belief that more developers is more better. The entire company is built around a marketing idea that does not exist yet. Strange cult like HR process. They want you to be "All in" and will remove you if you are not.

Pros

People. Lots of good people and some of them are still believing in company. Decent benefit package.

Cons

This place used to be decent, not perfect but not bad. Then... Dont know where to start. That 5 minutes video, "all in", "we will do this and that." I guess nobody says anything about people quiting left and right. They pretend everything is normal. You need to be really really sure that you will have a future to continue staying here. TBH, dont think Raython cares about this company. They are busy with merger at this moment.
