Software Engineer - Software Engineer Mindflash Employee Review

Friendly and smart coworker, people leave their titles at the door. Management seems to be able to roll up their sleeves and get work done. I think the new team that's being assembled is invigorating and setting us up for success.

Some internal ambiguity on roles. We're a startup so there's sometimes times to wear multiple hats but that also means a lot of opportunity to grow.

Liberal work from home policy and unlimited PTO. Pay was decent.

- Some of the tech stack is ancient (Angular 1, .NET), unmaintainable, and everyone spends 90% of their time complaining about it. - Most of the technical decisions were made by a small group of developers that were let go before they could pass on their knowledge. To be honest, it's as if those developers were trying to pad their resume with AWS knowledge, and decided to use the tech stack here as a playground. - Due to the above, the number of production issues on a daily basis is incredibly high, especially for a startup that's been selling the same product for over 10 years. - People are constantly trying to minimize the impact of production issues because they don't want to have to fix the bugs. - There is no real direction to improve the stack. It's more of a "we'll deal with things as they break" mentality, and when they decide to fix something, it's almost always a bandaid fix. - Unchecked bro culture. There's a lot of discussion that should not be had in a workplace. You'd think a company that makes HR software would value HR in general. They don't.
