Learning opportunities overshadowed by poor management - Former Software Engineer Expernetic Employee Review

Doesn’t really matter whether there’s an actual need or not, they tend to adopt every latest Microsoft technology into their work. The salary is usually on the lower side. There is a 9-month probation period, followed by around a year of work before any significant increment can be expected. The CTO is also quite difficult to work with. He can say one thing one day and completely contradict it the next. He gets offended pretty easily when challenged, and at times says directly hurtful things to employees. So in general, it’s better to avoid any arguments with him. There’s also quite a bit of office politics involved. Pure talent alone won’t necessarily help you grow there. They tend to favor people who stay on their good side or people who constantly create attention about themselves. If you’re not comfortable with either of those, it may not be a suitable workplace for you in the long run. None of the projects developed by their internal team has seen the light of production. They are forever stuck in development hell. Requirements change, people come and go, but not a single one has ever made it to production. I have noticed instances where employees were encouraged to leave positive reviews on glassdoor, so take the positive reviews in here with a grain of salt
