EROAD Reviews

Since 2024 with new CTO everything changed. He destroyed the whole engineering culture and left. More people hired to do the same. So, this in not the best place if you are looking for long term employment. Be aware about Traditional pre-Christmas/NY redundancies almost every year. They are thinking it is a gift to get redundancy notice in the middle of November. Company constantly replacing NZ/US staff to Philippine. If you are experienced engineer you will be really annoyed by some immature new processes introduced this year. Recent overgrown bureaucracy with a lot of new $$$ VP/Head/Principal positions, not much $ left for engineers. A lot of great talking by management, terrible actions from them. AI is overused to generate a lot of noise. Top IT management has hallucinations to replace everyone by AI and Philippines. Only one working day from home, overcrowded office, not enough desks, working at benches, lunches are destroyed by falling out of the fridge. Top IT management completely ignore leaders, no two way communications, no point to raise any issues. New annoying bureaucratic procedures completely makes no sense. Top engineers with many years at EROAD are leaving. Overall feeling that everything will collapse at some point. PS: Please, ignore the recent 5-stars review. I suspect it was written by particular IT top manager, anyway not by ordinary Team Leader. That person has enormous sense of ego and vulnerability, he simply could not listen. You can see the tone in which that review was written. Also, David K mentioned there was doing really bad job and he left after EROAD lost major US customer. That could be found in the news.

- Top level management often from Coretex side turn a blind eye to the reality of the state of their products/tech, way too focused on reputation and personal gain - Diversity/inclusion seems like an afterthought. After the last round of layoffs and people leaving I'd be interested to see the gender stats, especially in leadership and engineering - HR is completely disconnected from their people and have far too much control in engineering ways of working. Seems they spend a lot of their time making excuses - Some teams completely under the pump, expected to cancel leave and work longer hours despite leadership saying they want teams to push back when this happens; they're the ones pushing it on these teams - Moving towards the C# stack, new devs have to use Windows machines - Trying to get everyone to move from Slack to Teams, with no investigation done on productivity and features, I guess this is a symptom of a wider issue of not listening to people
