Disorganized Engineering Culture and Poor Management
Pros
Fully remote work was the only positive aspect of the role. Other than that, I did not find meaningful advantages.
Cons
From a software development perspective, there is no real understanding of the software development lifecycle. There are no structured processes, no proper release planning, and no clear ownership. Changes are pushed directly to production without proper validation or staging, which frequently results in failed deployments and instability. Management lacks direction and leadership. There is no clear product strategy, and roles are blurred. The QA Manager is extremely micromanaging and often interferes beyond their scope, even attempting to take over responsibilities that belong to the Product Manager. This creates confusion, inefficiency, and a toxic work environment. Overall, this was the worst professional experience I have had. I strongly recommend candidates carefully evaluate whether this environment aligns with their expectations before accepting an offer.
