Growing and Getting Better Every Day - Anonymous employee Steampunk Employee Review

Steampunk seems to put a major emphasis on hiring good people, and good work stems in part from that philosophy. The company culture is very supportive and inclusive, and remote work helps with the flexibility that life requires.

The only con I can think of is that you only get 2 weeks of PTO plus federal holidays, which goes fast.

The company itself is decent, with reasonable benefits and some good people. Work-life balance is generally acceptable.

Project Management is terrible. The PM lacks honesty when communicating with customers about deliverables and timelines. They frequently overpromise and underdeliver. The PM does not shield or support the team properly and often misrepresents reality both to the client and internally. There is a strong preference for a completely flat organizational structure, regardless of years of experience or expertise. This leads to poor decision-making and frustration for senior team members. The account team is noticeably very female-biased. Male employees often feel sidelined or undervalued in account-related decisions and opportunities.
