No CTO + unhelpful mid-level engineers + non-tech founder = no development. Hacky builds with significant tech debt. - Engineering Narrativ Employee Review

Pros

Full ownership over critical projects. Fast paced work. Challenging problems to solve. Talented engineers. Camaraderie is the best I’ve experienced. Beer, Friday lunches, snacks, the usual startup fun.

Cons

Difficult to learn without a CTO or experienced senior engineers. Mid-level engineers want to kiss CEO’s butt instead of actually teach and help the team grow. Unclear why our business is special and what business team actually wants - something new every week with unrealistic deadlines that constantly add to existing loads of tech debt. CEO either unaware of or just doesn’t appreciate the work we do. Constant firings have created an uneasy work environment.

Cons

The creator economy is the wild west
