Poor tooling leads to negative outlook - Senior Infrastructure Engineer CoreWeave Employee Review

They force all employees to do all their work through antiquated VDI technology (Linux or Windows, no Mac), even though they ship out brand new MacBooks to employees- you can't use them, you have to remote desktop. The VDIs randomly freeze, lock up, slow down, and are a nightmare to code on. If you raise the issue, you'll hear from dozens of employees thanking you for doing so, and then from your boss telling you to shut up about it. The other con is similar to the first: getting to work for the only company that has succeeded this far in using Kubernetes in ways it's expressly designed against, because the technical debt present in the organization to fix it is insurmountable. They claim the hours are flexible but when you try to take advantage of that, you find out it's not true. Senior management are all ex energy traders with the level of empathy you'd expect from C-suite of that sector, and also with zero technical background. Do not work here if you are looking for reason & understanding to win the day.
