Stay away - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Downstream

DS does really cool projects and employs passionate people! There's a great collaborative environment and my management respects work/life balance.

Since being acquired by a larger company a few years ago, some workflows take more time due to extra steps put in place for approvals and systems.

free food, interesting projects, some nice people

-no wage adjustment in ~2 years -no career growth in ~2 years(despite trying) -very little collaboration and really bad communication when it does happen. shockingly bad communication from a lot of people who have been writing code for a long time. likely due to the "good enough" attitude here. they really dont care about doing things right. -they have not added a single seat to our team in the two year ive been here. the team is drowning in work. -paid under market for my work -middle management makes technical decisions they are totally unequipped to make -excessive technical debt while building a new product with a skeleton crew.
