Amazing company to work - Avis employé Digital Marketing Manager Netduma

Casual environment. Good work-life balance. Some friendly people that you can really get along with. The CEO is an approachable person with respectful manners.

There are no experienced developers. Everyone there joins a graduate without any previous industry background. This enables maintaining the illusion that the CTO is the greatest and only experienced developer in the world. Illusion that he believes and allows him to look down on everyone else. There is a toxic culture coming from the top down where you either win a few p****** contests to become a "genius" or you will be deemed intellectually inferior. The whole company sails on the CTO's mood swings, alternating periods of absence vs micro-management, and erratic decision-making. Every issue that I've seen arise was faced with excuses and not dealt with (proof of that are the fake reviews in Glassdoor). You learn poor software development habits.

Free soda drinks and amazing employees.

The company lacks professionalism and inhibits a 'bro' culture. The biggest issue is the CTO who pulls all the strings and performs the CEO's job. From my experience, the CEO couldn't make any executive decisions without consulting the CTO. CTO is really keen to tell you to 'get back to work' but also to expect you to stop whatever you are doing to listen to his jokes or have unexpected meetings. The company is very keen on keeping their money in their pockets and not paying their talented developers. They are also happy to come into the office after the gym and spray deodorant all over the tiny room people are working in. The common excuse for anything is "we are a startup", but really they are a proper company that don't know how to manage themselves.
