Pluspunten

Some of the office culture is fun and changes with new CEO is on right track as far as paying people what they're actually worth.

Minpunten

It is the worst code base ever and it's a result of having a foundation of no one around to ever give quality code reviews but blame each other instead making for a horrible work environment to boot. Not only is it in a language I would heavily not recommend starting out your dev career in, but you won't be able to actually learn or grow into a quality dev because you're working on a codebase done by people who were paid so abysmally low and made to work so many hours that literally the only social life they could ever have is that within the "company". Even if you don't mind PHP, this is not the codebase to learn on unless you want to actually learn spaghetti code with no actual structure and then restart everything you thought you knew until after you leave and learn what it's like to work with quality engineers who don't just blame other coders behind your back but actually give quality code reviews for you to grow and learn from. The prior CEO loved to blame which is where the culture propagated from and hasn't changed since and it is extremely difficult to actually turn the codebase into quality code with the foundation it has while still needing to support a large customer base that genuinely seems to be a miracle that stays and grows.

We are sorry and saddened by your experience at FluentStream. During the 3 plus years since you left, FluentStream has completely transformed from a bootstrapped start-up to a professional, high-growth company with a reputation for taking care of its employees and customers. We have worked hard to establish a sustainable company & culture that our Streamers (employees) are proud of. Here are some specific ways we have evolved since your time with us: - New company ownership, and every current employee receives equity. - New leadership across all departments of the company, including technology and human resources. - New technology, culture and process including standards for code reviews, completion, documentation, maintenance and security. - New compensation and benefits packages that are nationally-competitive. - Increased focus on diversity and inclusion. Today nearly half our workforce and senior leadership are women. - Fully-remote workforce, with employees all over the U.S. In no way does our evolution excuse the negative experiences you had during your time with FluentStream over 3 years ago, but we hope our response helps current and prospective Streamers understand what FluentStream is like today. To that end, if you have any additional feedback or what to learn more about the company we are today, please reach out to us at hr@fluentstream.com. Thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a 5-star review! We deeply appreciate your kind words and are especially grateful for your long-term commitment to FluentStream over the past three years. It's truly rewarding to hear that you feel we're making impactful changes and are investing appropriately for long-term success. Your belief in the company and our CEO means a great deal to us. We also appreciate your candid feedback regarding compensation and 401k contributions, as it helps us understand our team's perspectives. Regarding the 401k match, while we're not currently in a position to offer this we've been proud to implement profit sharing contributions for the past couple of years. This is another way we aim to share our successes with the team and provide a meaningful investment in your financial future. Thank you again for your valuable contributions and for recognizing the positive direction we're heading in. We remain committed to fostering a supportive and rewarding environment for all our employees.
