I love it here - werkgeversreview Systems Engineer bij CIQ

If you are an aggressive self starter, CIQ is the place for you. Everyone here is working to make our products the best they can be. We've got a fantastic leadership team that is focused every day on our success.

Working for a startup is not easy for everyone. You have to be assertive, and sometimes make the decision yourself related to certain activities, and they are not always the right ones. So, if you are not that person, at this time, it may not be the job for you.

Incredibly smart, mission-driven engineers who genuinely care about open source and community work. Many teammates go above and beyond to support one another despite constant uncertainty. The technical problems can be somewhat interesting, and the work itself can be meaningful when you’re allowed to focus on it.

Leadership decisions often feel reactive and inconsistent, with unclear priorities and limited transparency. Communication is inconsistent, trust is fragile, and priorities shift without clear reasoning. There’s a wide gap between the values the company promotes and the way people are actually treated. Stability, transparency, and respect for all parties need serious work.
