      Trial and Error

      Pros

      Smart, friendly colleagues, major reason why people stick around Good office space

      Cons

      Trial and error approach to management, without a long-term product vision. Teams are formed and broken up repeatedly. Trial and error approach to hiring, the company repeatedly hires people and employees during their probation period. Even passing the probation period is no guarantee, as management changes their approach every few months. Employee viewpoints are hardly ever regarded and the product development process is run like a factory. Quality is repeatedly neglected and all prioritization is put towards delivery. A single day delay in delivery to meet an internal deadline for any reason is deemed unacceptable. This does not work for software development. Those who work directly with management are treated very poorly.

      Thank you for your feedback. We have brought onboard Head of People (HR) who is working closely with Head of Engineering to update our recruitment processes and have put in additional resources towards retention and sustainable recruitment. Quality and employee satisfaction are important to us. We have collected a lot of feedback, implemented some quick-wins and looking forward to continuously improving. We have invested heavily in adopting and running scrum methodologies which means we work as a team and are able to plan ahead, everyone contributes towards sprint planning, meeting sprint goals and delivering every 2 weeks - priorities, timeline and deliverables are determined by the team members themselves so that expectations are managed as best as possible from the beginning. This also encourages closer collaboration between team members, for example, engineers working very closely with designers as well as product owners. We have also grown our leadership team to cater the needs of our ~50 staff members across different locations. For example, the leadership team now includes Product Owners, Head of Engineering, Head of People (HR) and Scrum Master (to name a few).

      Pros

      Founders are very nice people and outside of professional space it is a pleasure to interact with them. Office has a good atmosphere, people are very friendly, it is easy to make friends in AfterShip, which is an important factor for people who come from abroad to join the company.

      Cons

      Lack of mentoring. This company does not have an experienced senior, an expert who could be a mentor and share his skills. In AfterShip technical objectives are at the bottom of the priority list. Top priority is new product’s MVP or the ‘just-make-it-work’ objectives. Software engineers that want to explore more intuitive approaches that require a bit more time, are often shut down. Last thing, blame culture - every quarter review founders admitted the blame culture problem, which stem from them. As long as I was working in AfterShip it was noticeable and unresolved.

We are promoting learning and development as well as knowledge sharing initiatives to encourage coaching and organic growth from within AfterShip.

      Pros

      Remote work Above average pay

      Cons

      The company founders are proud of their burnout culture. Expected to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week. (Google "996" and you'll understand)
