Pros
Free Food and 10 percent good people in management. SquadStack’s actual rating should be around 1.5/5, but don’t be misled by inflated reviews influenced by their marketing team. The company struggles with poor management, silent layoffs, and a complete deviation from its original vision. If you watch the initial SquadStack pitch video by the founder, you’ll quickly realize that the company today does the exact opposite of what was promised. The management lacks a clear direction, and employees face instability, broken commitments, and a lack of growth opportunities. Even if you get something in writing or an official email, don’t count on it – they can change their stance overnight.
Cons
Layoffs & Silent Layoffs – Job security is a myth here. Vision-Deviated Leadership – The CEO lacks strategic clarity. Underutilization of On-Roll Employees – Many full-time hires have little to no meaningful work. Intern Exploitation – Interns are given menial tasks rather than real learning opportunities. Pointless Perks – Free food is their only real benefit.
