Pros
The actual people I worked with at the engineer, QA, and product level were good at what they did.
Cons
I have worked at so many tech companies over the years I thought I had seen it all. But Everyware takes the cake for the most disasterous technology team and leadership I have ever seen. The Chief Architect Buhro and CTO Nagy are just yes men for the CEO. Buhro may know how to write code but he has 0 architecture skills and it has created a situation where there are 15000+ line static helper files, spaghetti Visual Basic unmanaged code EVERYWHERE, 5000+ line dynamic SQL Stored Procedures filled with business logic and barely run, hard coded stuff on static EC2 boxes, no security, and a whole slew of other items that lead to the most unstable system I have ever seen. He will not take advice from anyone else and WILL not create Code Reviews, he just commits code straight to branches and production. The deploy situation is an absolute nightmare. Manual deploys of moving code from your local box to existing static EC2 boxes at midnight praying that something doesn't break or nothing unexpected happens. You could be up all night if things dont go according to plan. Oh and there is no QA server to test actually what is going out. We just had a Dev environment where we would test with wildly different other code that wasn't going out for months and then cherry pick into the release branch hoping it worked. This lead to the worst merges I have ever seen since a ton of work was done in those many 15k+ static helper files so we were regularly stepping on each other and overwriting code in different branches. Nagy has absolutely no idea what he is doing. He is just the best friend of the CEO for 20+ years. He does not take any responsibility for what happens upon himself and everything he says is pretty much a hollow platitude. He doesn't stand up for the dev team or advocate for them at all. The CEO and the rest of the top management are out of touch, toxic, and just bad at what they do. They are insane micro managers but have no idea what it takes to build software. They set the deadlines without any other input and when the deadlines are not hit he yells at engineers and product people. Everything is top priority so obviously nothing gets done b/c we are constantly shifting priorities around to try to make the CEO happy. I could say more but he is extremely unprofessional and not a good leader. The CEO says he is a coder and he did build some of the system. But he does not know what it takes to build enterprise level Payments software. I was scared to put my name on this product because we are dealing with Payments and credit cards. If I found out Everyware was processing the payments that my CC was going through I would probably not use their service. It is unsafe, insecure, and could fail at any moment. This isn't me trying to be mean. This is someone who has done this for a long time raising the red flags so no one else has to endure this nightmare. There is no funding coming and the only chance they had was to spend the time fortifying the product so we could keep the big players they wanted to keep. Instead we ran around with our heads cut off. PLEASE PLEASE BEWARE! Do not make the same mistake I made.
