A dangerous employer - Senior Software Engineer Tahzoo Employee Review

Do not work for Tahzoo if you don't have 100% legal authorization to work in the US. If you are here on a work visa of any kind, Tahzoo will extend a lower salary and refuse to promote you or pay you market rate based on the fact that they sponsor you. Tahzoo will not treat employees here on work visas with the same respect and dignity as US citizens. DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU ARE NOT A US CITIZEN. Do not work for Tahzoo as a contractor. They will not pay you. Tahzoo still owes independent contractors upwards of $100 thousand dollars. Tahzoo's management is laughably bad. It is 100% sales-driven. Tahzoo will tell a client literally anything to make a sale. A statement of work (SOW) will be written against whatever it took to make that sale, with zero consultation from anyone who has touched a computer in the last 4 weeks. Engineers, business analysts, and architects will then be held accountable for whatever the output is. Additional people will not be put on the project, regardless of how unreasonable the deadline or deliverables are. The project will miss deadlines, the client will be unhappy, no one from management gets fired, but engineers and analysts get blamed. Attempting to help in the SOW authoring process only ends in sorrow, as VPs don't know how to use "track changes", and will overwrite an engineer's attempt to make a statement of work sound less foolish. Tahzoo is constantly desperate to make a sale. That desperation drives every decision made in the company. There are no technically competent managers higher than the director level. None of the 8-10 vice presidents know how computers work. 8-10 vice presidents are involved in every project. Every project is over budget. No one understands how projects end up over budget. No one above director level knows anything about code -- at even a basic level. Ask anyone at a VP level if they know where the source code for their products is located. <br> *Tahzoo only buys new computers for VPs. Engineers will work from their own hardware, or leftovers. There's a senior architect working from a 6-year-old macbook. <br> **Bonuses are only paid if a project is successful. Financially, projects are never successful. But the company gets to tell you, "there's bonuses".
