The CTO is a screamer. An he is not the only one in the company. This is a common trait for many middle managers in Rambus@Rotterdam (and even for senior engineers!) This is a hectic place. Everybody is complaining about everybody else. Toxic. The projects are usually messy, especially the old ones with long history. Lack of organizational and technical expertise. After working closely with some of your colleagues you might became a screamer yourself. Career options are quite limited. Rambus@Rotterdam is not promoting its employees, hiring outsiders for the vacant roles instead.
