Worst Place I Have Ever Worked - Software Engineer Shakudo Employee Review

As someone who has worked at several venture-backed startups, this is by far the worst. Sure, startups are a lot of work, but they are also a lot of fun, unlike Shakudo. Here are my issues with Shakudo: - Intense micromanagement. - Lack of trust from leadership. - Mandatory in office policy with only a few WFH days allowed per year, but this rule does not apply to one of the co-founders who regularly works from home. - You need to use vacation time if you are going to an appointment, even though everyone works overtime. - Job descriptions do not align to what the job actually is. - Inexperienced management. - You are often given tasks that add no value. - Lots of turnover and there are regularly layoffs within the three-month probation period. For example, three out of four BDRs that were hired left the company within three months of joining. - Management and founders do not make an effort to get to know their staff. I once asked the CEO what he did for fun and he responded by saying "all I do is work". - I regularly would hear the founders arguing with one another. Please, go work somewhere else, Shakudo doesn't even pay its employees well.
