Sunken ship - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei FloQast: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Great management and Learning structure

A lot of internal meetings and can be strict on in-office

Genuinely strong benefits. 12-week paternity leave is real and appreciated. The people I worked with directly were hardworking and talented. That's about where the positives end.

The CTO is systematically dismantling engineering, and senior leadership is either complicit or asleep. The work-life balance that once made this company a genuine differentiator is gone. Daily production incidents are now normalized — a direct consequence of gutting the QA team through a series of layoffs, forced exits, and outsourcing. The offshoring initiative has been a particular disaster for work-life balance. Engineers were told offshore teams would work around US schedules. That was not true. Expect pings on Saturday and Sunday. Expect late-night messages. The CTO himself will DM you on a Sunday for something that could have waited until Monday. The RTO situation is being handled with zero transparency. If you're within a two-hour radius of a California office, you're being quietly pressured to come in — but this has only been communicated to California employees. No formal announcement. No company-wide policy. Just quiet pressure. The CTO's hiring practices deserve scrutiny. A pattern of loyalty hires has brought chaos and stress into engineering. Whether these hires were rigorously vetted is a fair question. What's not in question is the impact: added instability, a culture of working nights and weekends, and an implicit expectation that everyone else does the same. Anonymous Q&As — once a meaningful feedback channel — were eliminated when the company removed anonymity. No one asks questions anymore. Funny how that works. The long-tenured, high-performing engineers who were FloQast have left in droves since the new CTO arrived. The institutional knowledge is gone. The culture is gone. The company I joined no longer exists.
