Politics - Senior Software Engineer Royal Cyber Inc. Employee Review

amazing people, fast growing company

lack of management but all over it does not affect

• Salary is always paid on time • Free coffee in the office • If you’re well-connected with the right people, the environment can be very comfortable • Some employees have stayed for 15+ years, which provides continuity for those who fit into the internal politics

• Work culture feels toxic with heavy internal politics • Senior management often lacks ownership and accountability • Micro-management is common across teams • Decisions are driven by personal relationships instead of merit • An example of this is seeing highly qualified staff (including PhD-level experts) being overridden by individuals with minimal technical qualifications simply because of family ties to leadership • Hiring and firing happens frequently with very little stability • Interns are hired at low cost, given minimal guidance, and can be let go with almost no notice • Students waiting for H1B sponsorship are vulnerable and often feel pressured • Weekend work is expected without compensation • C-level leadership appears inexperienced and the majority of senior roles seem reserved for family members rather than the best talent • Talented and honest employees leave quickly because they see no path for growth or fair treatment
