The ceo is a bad people manager and makes questionable decisions all the time. The first being he re-took power in mid 2024 and decided to bring everyone in full time with 1 week of notice and did not ask for any feedback or show willingness to work with employees to see how this would affect them. It was one of the most absurd decisions Ive ever witnessed from a ceo to not consult a single person, more or less even upper management. After all this was said and done changes were made to the bonus structure that basically revoked money from your pocket after they had initially added a baseline percentage based on performance. The performance reviews for raises and bonuses are even more of a joke, it is basically reuse to get you to put in a lot of effort to explain what you’ve done and please him for him to then just completely ignore what you said and give you an abysmal raise or bonus.
The worst part about this company is the people management. There have been some fantastic people that worked here. They could've really moved the company in the right direction, but because the ceo is too prideful and unwilling to pay people what they deserve he loses them after a few years. If you look at the attrition in the last 2/3 years you would be shocked. Very few people stay and those who do stay are not able to put in the time to properly interview with other companies.
If you you have to work here use every development opportunity you can, learn as much as possible, then use that to just go elsewhere where they will treat you right.
