Pros

Good team lead Clean, well-structured code without legacy issues, making the work technically enjoyable

Cons

Despite receiving positive feedback and performing well, the company was unwilling to increase my salary Salary raise was promised after the probation period, but when the time came, I was simply informed that it would not happen due to project issues I was told my project was on a "vacation" for two weeks, but after that, I was left waiting with no clear updates on the project's status I later found out, only after asking, that I had actually been placed on the bench—this was never proactively communicated to me No new projects came in, leaving me without work and with no clear career path within the company

We regret to hear that your experience at DashDevs did not fully meet your expectations. We value transparency and would like to address your concerns: Compensation review: our records indicate that any compensation adjustments were contingent upon the availability of active projects. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen project challenges, we were unable to proceed with the anticipated increase at that time.​ Bench period communication: we make every effort to keep our team members informed about project statuses and bench periods. In your case, the Team Lead communicated the start of the paid bench period and recorded the end date of this period. We apologize if there was any confusion, and we highlight that the communications were conducted in a timely manner. We understand that such situations can be challenging and are committed to learning from this experience to improve our processes.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback about your experience at DashDevs. We value your insights and would like to address your concerns. - It’s true that a majority of our team members are Ukrainian. However, we operate as a fully remote company and conduct all our processes in English. This includes Slack chats and all company policies, ensuring inclusivity for non-Ukrainian team members. - All must-visit company-wide meetings are held in English. It's true that a few optional events are designed specifically for Ukrainian speakers. These events are not essential company-wide meetings, and we always specify the event’s language in the Google Calendar invite. - Our cooperation conditions vary by project and are not influenced by nationality. If a project is terminated, we inform all contractors equally, without discrimination based on nationality, race, or any other factor. - Regarding promotions, please note that for senior positions, eligibility requires at least one year of cooperation. As you mentioned, you have been with us for less than a year, so any type of promotion was not yet an option for you. Thus, we recognize the importance of continuous improvement in diversity and inclusion. Thank you again for your review.
