Good Colleagues, Terrible Leadership - Full Stack Developer Software Finder Employee Review

The core problem at Software Finder is leadership. The manager runs the place on intimidation rather than trust — decisions are forced through, disagreement is treated as disloyalty, and abusive language is normalized. Anyone who raises a genuine concern gets labeled as incompetent or quietly pushed to the side. As someone in a senior product role, I found it nearly impossible to do meaningful work when every discussion turned into a power struggle instead of a conversation. The core problem at Software Finder is leadership. The manager has serious behavioral issues and their conduct is consistently unprofessional — decisions are forced through with intimidation, disagreement is treated as disloyalty, and abusive language is normalized. People management skills are practically zero: no ability to listen, give constructive feedback, or handle conflict like a professional. Priorities flip overnight, moods dictate decisions, and you never know which version of leadership you'll deal with on any given day.

Anyone who raises a genuine concern gets labeled as incompetent or quietly pushed aside. Benefits are also handled unfairly, especially toward the product team. Instead of treating benefits as something every employee earns, management uses salary as a weapon — the attitude is "we're already paying you more, so you don't deserve benefits." Being told you haven't earned what others receive is demoralizing and makes it clear that fairness isn't a priority here. The result is predictable: good people leave. I watched capable engineers, designers, and product folks walk out one after another, and leadership treated it as no loss. There's a genuine belief at the top that employees exist to comply, not contribute. Morale is low, output suffers, and the company's reputation in the market reflects it. I'd advise anyone considering a role here to think carefully before joining.
