Run away, as fast as you can - Software Engineer RocketPlan Technologies Employee Review

- The app could have potential, given the industry it targets and lack of competitors with good apps in that space - Backend API adheres strictly to being vanilla Laravel, with good code coverage for unit tests

- Product management side of the business is absolutely terrible. Lack of proper sprint planning / kick off, lack of information in epic/story tickets (empty descriptions, lacking of wireframes, no PRD/requirements). This keeps being one of the top 3 issues brought up every sprint review for the past 6+ months - Sprint planning happens after the sprint has already started - They hired a product owner but then shortly after fired her and didn't refill the position; tickets were getting better at that point but then reverted back - High turnover rate for every department - OT / Working on weekends is expected and encouraged - CEO's first time ever dealing with managing a company in the Software Engineering space and doesn't understand the process. He will often complain and rant in Slack - CEO calls Engineers out publicly in Slack saying things like "What am I even paying you for?" - Company has been late in making payments to all employees. During an all hands meeting the CEO was given a list of questions that were submitted anonymously and he avoided answering the majority of them, even making jokes. - Employees weren't notified in any sort of adequate time on the 'delay'. Everyone was informed the day before pay day at the end of the month.

Startup Innovative Product Already launched product CTO was a fantastic leader and teacher, the only reason why I stayed so long.

CEO has repeatedly missed paying employees and blames the employees publicly. CEO does not tell employees about missing payday until the Friday evening before payday. CEO expects employees to work 24/7 and chooses not to pay appropriate salaries. (overworked/Underpaid) CEO has no idea where information is and how to find it even if given numerous times prior.
