Stay away - Software Engineer Smartr365 Employee Review

I've worked with some of the most passionate and intelligent people at this company. There is a real sense that people deeply care about what they deliver and want to be proud of their work.

There is no progression path available at this company unless you want to go into management. Opportunities for further qualifications were often promised but never delivered upon. Upper management lack any understanding of what the development function entails and often throws unreasonable deadlines at us after over-promising deliverables. Changes to our ways of working would often come from the top and be forced to be implemented, expecting a major shift in productivity. It very much feels like a pointless feature factory whilst working here. Management have devolved into a massive blame culture, often throwing people under the bus it feels like if things aren't going well instead of working together as a team. The shift to an over-reliance on AI for the development function is concerning.

Remote, workers below managers are solid.

Managers replaced all workers with a few AI Devs. Used AI to vibe code a new and negatively reviewed product.
