No direction - Engineering Manager DealMaker Employee Review

Exceptional people with growth mindsets. Visionary CEO and leadership. Challenging Environment Opportunities to learn and grow. My direct manager is super supportive and leads with empathy. You will never be bored here.

This environment is amazing but it's not for everyone. We are a very ambitious company and we have large goals. We are a fast growth company and that comes with all the fun and challenges of growth. If you are looking for just a job this place isn't for you. Week one and two (and three) can feel like drinking from a firehose. But if you lean in I promise you will adjust.

There are some great individuals here who are hardworking and genuinely care about what they do. Team members often try to support each other, especially when things get hectic. The company attracts people who are motivated and willing to put in the effort.

The biggest issue is the lack of consistency. Priorities change frequently, and it can feel like you’re constantly adjusting without a clear sense of direction. What’s important one week can quickly become irrelevant the next, which makes it hard to stay focused or feel productive. There’s also a disconnect between leadership decisions and how they play out day to day. Plans are set at a high level, but the execution often falls on teams that don’t have the clarity or resources needed to succeed. This creates unnecessary stress and inefficiencies. Communication isn’t always transparent, and employees are often left trying to piece things together on their own. Feedback is shared, but it rarely results in visible improvements, which can be discouraging over time. The pace is demanding, and without strong structure or recognition, it leads to burnout. When you factor in concerns around compensation and workload balance, it becomes difficult to see this as a sustainable long-term role.
