How is management perceived at Jointly?

Pros

If you live in the United States you have the possibility of growth

Cons

old practices, no flex time, no remote work, the manager in argentina yelled and was violent

Pros

Remote work, flexible hours, cool product.

Cons

the CEO, the management, the lack of support, the fake "speak your mind" culture I got a call a day before my first day saying my, whom would have been, boss "left the company" and this may "make my onboarding a little more challenging but I should be able to handle it." I had to onboard myself, with no boss, no team, zero support doing two projects I was told I would have the time to learn the programs. Instead, I was told to I was working too slow and when asked how I felt about everything, I was told "that's just the startup culture." Devin is also very sneaky. Being the "supportive CEO" he tries to be, set up a 1-1 w me as a 30-day checkin during which he made it seems it was okay to be open. So expressed my struggles with the lack of support and onboarding. The next day I get a (very rude) phone call saying this is not a good fit and I do not fit the startup speed.

Advice to Management

Don't say you foster "openness" but then shut someone down when they speak up. Make sure to actually onboard your new employees. Make sure everyone has support - starting a completely new role, without support or a manager is not "character building" but hazing.

Pros

Jointly has a supportive team that is always willing to help each other out. I appreciate that the inputs of the engineers are taken into account when developing the product. The company values its employees and provides them with opportunities to learn.

Cons

However, the workflow process can be improved. There are times when it can be messy and disorganized, which can cause delays and frustrations. I believe that there is a need for clearer communication and better project management.
