Pros

Avoid at all cost. Cant think of any pros, besides the company being one of a few in this particular niche. Salary is still very low and options are totally worthless with super small exercise window.

Kontras

- Everyone is super toxic, I have seen some people bursting out and going crazy in calls, managers calling others "NPCs", "no-brainers" and similar stuff. Shady employee behaviour, where your colleagues would act good in front of you and report you for asking onboarding questions, taking a small break during the day and similar - 0 work life balance, around 95% of tickets are estimated with 1 story point, to be completed by EOD and if you get delayed even by a few hours, your manager will call you - 0 psychological safety. The first mistake you make and your manager will invite you to a call to flame you and threaten you. - If you get on the PIP there is no escape, you will get fired for sure. A lot of people get fired with 0 notice, even within 2-3 weeks of joining the company. Run as far as you can if you even remotely care about having some job security or work-life balance. - The only people who enjoy working here have nothing else at all going on in their lives besides work. - Company engages in unethical behaviour by trying to strike down real (negative) reviews and publish obvious fake reviews.

Pros

CAST is an exceptional company—built on world-class technology and an outstanding group of people. The CEO is a passionate, direct, and deeply committed leader. The President treats the company like it’s his life’s work, and the CTO is one of the most brilliant minds I’ve worked with. In a high-growth environment, not everyone succeeds—some struggle to keep up with the pace and expectations. That’s part of the reality. But when someone who didn’t meet the bar chooses to leave and then posts a dark, bitter message aimed at great leaders and a company that gave them an opportunity ... that crosses a line. J, I had some respect for you. But after seeing your message, I’ve lost that respect.

Kontras

Yes, it’s true — the President of the company is deeply passionate about CAST mission. When he sees that a professional isn't delivering results, he can become more hands-on. But that typically stems from someone not stepping up to close the opportunities already in motion ... not from a desire to micromanage for its own sake.
