Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)
vrek@programming.dev 7 months agoLong story short… Most of the money the company earned was from the credit union. I went through a depression phase and tried to kill myself (I’m doing better now) so I was inpatient in a mental ward for about a month.
The credit union got a computer security audit from the ncua(similar to fdic but for credit unions). My boss could not access any system. No servers, no firewalls, no intrusion detection systems, nothing. I had the passwords but was unable to be contacted and “documentation was a waste of time”.
They failed the audit. Credit union basically asked “we pay you for computer security, we failed an audit for computer security, so why do we pay you?”
Contract was lost and company went under shortly afterwards.

Your boss caused the company to go bankrupt due to his behavior.

Mostly but that doesn’t make as good of a story 😁
