One of the best places I've ever worked at - Software Architect Bluetel Solutions Employee Review

Pretty chill but you are just a contractor

Got let go so sad

Bluetel offers some excellent benefits and has a relaxed work atmosphere. The company uses the agile methodology and its office is in a great location.

Bluetel has a somewhat toxic work culture that only seems to value loyalty. This has resulted in a sycophantic leadership team. Criticism or negativity of any kind was highly discouraged. The founders themselves would control and manage every aspect of the business. There is no sales department, no account managers, no designers, no admin staff, etc. The culture is obsessed with keeping high coding standards but would often only focus on simple specific things like variable names and comments, etc. and would ignore more general fundamental problems related to architecture and tech stack. My team was overly reliant on eZ Platform, an unpopular CMS system, which is quickly losing relevance. There is an unusual bonus scheme which results in developers earning a higher rate when working on specific tickets. This caused entire teams to spend extra time working on these tickets while ignoring other aspects of work like basic admin. The bonus would also be used as a motivational tool with threats of losing the bonus if certain conditions weren’t met.
