Confused - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Max Retail

Working for Max Retail is fast-paced, hands-on, and full of opportunity. You’re often building in real time—helping shape strategy, culture, and processes from the ground up. Because teams are lean, your impact is visible and meaningful, and you typically get exposure across multiple functions.

If you can't pivot you might not like working for a startup.

Direct impact with helping clients.

Disorganized, lacking direction, blame you for problems. Way too much workload and not enough hours in the day. Expect you to know everything and clean up the mess. Overworked and unappreciated. The CEO gets crazy at the end of the month and forces you to stay longer some days. 10-6 becomes 9-6. Management is messy and don’t know what they want. Quick to hire and fire. You never know what they’re thinking. No communication, management is spread thin and need to hire 2 managers: one for sales and CS. Clients get ignored because turnover is so high. If your day is stacked with meetings with clients and you can’t make that many phone calls, you get in trouble and told you need to pick up the pace. Also noticed there is no real diversity there. Plus as an employee, you don’t even get a discount on items! All work, no reward. Thank God I got an offer somewhere else.
