- The way Formulatrix is structured, it favors the company over the employees.
- The CEO is a business man and everything is more or less approved by him. He treats employees like a business asset and not as people. He's not a malicious person, but he's in his own bubble. For example, I saw many people burn out, he was very aware of this, and no changes were made. I never saw any ownership of this issue on the company's part and most of the blame put on the burnt out employee.
- Unavoidable early morning and late night meetings. I learned to delegate and manage these meetings better over time, but this always interrupted my life outside of work.
- Not everyone's compensation is fair. The gap between the lowest and highest paid people significantly grew while I was there. Most other people, especially in Indonesia, deserved to be treated better.
- 9 holiday days in the US, seems a bit low for the industry.
- US office lacked diversity relative to the makeup of graduating engineering classes.
- The health insurance the company provides is rather expensive for a family plan. Everyone who had a working spouse would use their spouse's insurance.
- Indonesia has a different culture than the US which is a good thing. The bad thing is that we would generally try to force the US working culture on them instead of at least meeting them halfway or learning from them.
- The CEO told the employees to go onto glassdoor and leave positive reviews instead of making the lives of his employees better and having that happen naturally.
