Sonar is not what it used to be - Anonymous employee Sonar Software Employee Review

There was a point in time when Sonar was a great place to work. Sonar 6 years ago is sadly not the same as Sonar now. It had a great vibe, we liked working with each other and it showed in slack and everyone really felt like things were cool and we were friends. People were hired for what they could bring to the table, not just to fill roles. This is not the case anymore and it really sucks. Sonar is now more concerned about making money for the leadership team than fighting for the happiness of the company as a whole, the customers or the product even like they used to pride themselves on. The CEO has always said if there are problems to bring them to his attention but lately he has not really been available. It is almost as though he has delegated all of his responsibilities to others and we barely see him anymore. They have introduced a lot of unrealistic goals and terrible processes. We feel overworked and a lot of cringe but of course we can’t complain because then we are not a team player. I have realized the leadership team are all in bed with each other since they are either related by blood or through previous working relationships or friendships. This means the chances of this or them changing are not looking very good. I'm sad to see this decline because ever since I could remember this was one of the best places to work. Everything they said on the job posting about culture was true, but it no longer is. Now we are losing people left and right and no matter how much they tell you they care, they really don’t. To them we are all easily replaceable so it would be good to remember that everyday. I also think it is sad that they constantly criticize TimeWarner and Powercode for their terrible reputation when we are becoming just as bad. I guess to make it as a company the leaders really do have to become ruthless and that is what I see happening. I for one hope things turns around but right now Sonar really sucks.
