Good place. - werkgeversreview Junior Software Engineer bij Usio

This company really does seem focused on its people and it has seen a lot of growth in the last year because they invest in their people. Pay is pretty average, maybe slightly below, but nothing to complain about. The executive team and management are really understanding and they understand that life sometimes happens and they are great about working with you to figure out a game-plan when things go south in your personal life. That being said, it is a really supportive environment while maintaining a professional feel. They also offer great opportunities for continuing educaiton

Things can be a bit slow at times depending on your department. Management could be more diverse

The software engineering team is talented, collaborative, and capable of building solid systems. There is a lot of potential in the products and the technical talent on the ground.

Management lacks basic transparency and real-time feedback loops. I experienced my first month there of zero negative feedback, only to be told my performance was "poor" during a formal review due to missed deadlines caused by upstream dependencies entirely outside of my control. Furthermore, management weaponizes flexibility. Despite making up time spent on family medical emergencies and other brief emergencies (I offered to put it as PTO even though I made up the time), these moments were verbally cited in what I took as a "lack of dedication." There is no respect for work-life balance, and reporting to a Project Manager instead of a Technical Lead, Software Engineering Manager or EVP of Technology means your performance is judged by a calendar rather than technical contribution.
