The worst type of enterprise acting as a cool startup - werkgeversreview Senior Software Engineer bij Bitrise

It's hard to summarize how disappointed I was when I realized that Bitrise is nothing more than a polished startup that's more like an enterprise with a lot of opportunistic managers, committees, cargo-cult scrum and multiple levels of micromanagement. - Engineers are hired without any strategy: if you are coming from a "well-known" company, you'll be hired, it doesn't matter that you don't know about Ruby or Go that Bitrise mostly uses in its systems. - Go is the desired language to implement new things, but actually very few engineers know about it (you don't have to know it to get hired!), so the results of these green-field developments are mostly chaotic. - There are almost as many managers and VPs as engineers, and you have to get an approval for everything you want to do, except the very tiny bugfixes. You have to create a PoC and an RFC, then almost everybody in the engineering should be aboard with your idea. A lot of great initiatives has been postponed or simply cancelled by this bureaucracy.
