      No Product despite having bunch of product owners/managers etc

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Very good and flexible start-up, great perks, company holiday, great work/life balance

      Cons

      When there is no real product, there is no real excitement in engineering something that will not be used by anyone. There are a lot of ideas/talks and no real outcome, and it happens all the time. I'm not against company communication and talks, there just needs to be outcomes from those. We have a lot of product owners for the size of the company and yet no product. In a lot of other companies, the issues are around engineering, i.e how to build, scale etc. In Cytora, it's what to build?

      Pros

      - Friendly atmosphere; people are very approachable; many have become my mates out side of work - Tons of free snacks - Annual company trip - Modern office building with showers and lockers

      Cons

      - Current management do not know how to effectively grow the company - Management taking a shotgun approach to product development - 20% of the company were sacked in November 2019 without any justification

      Was great but bit of a sinking ship now, hopefully they pick up the momentum again

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Amazing, very academic group of people - Very friendly start up environment - Amazing perks and office, care about employees wellbeing - Engineering culture was brilliant

      Cons

      - Engineering team and managers were amazing but no trust was put into them by C-level team, meant that things couldn't develop with momentum for a tech company. Quite a big shame having all the resources (great engineers, funding) but the confidence was missing from leadership. - CTO very detached from what is happening in engineering team (although a lovely person) - Cytora are currently scrambling for a product market fit - There have been many 180 turns in what the product is for the company, feels uncertain about how many times a company can do that and continue succeeding through funding rounds
