I want to publicly share my experience working as Technical Lead at MedaStaré and raise serious concerns about the company's treatment of software engineers.
I worked for the company, contributed my technical expertise, and dedicated my time to its development work.
Despite having a written agreement, I have not received my compensation after approximately two months.
My agreement clearly states that payment must be made no later than the seventh calendar day of the following month, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The company has failed to meet this payment deadline.
And this is not just about me.
Other engineers have also experienced unpaid work. Based on what I know, this appears to be a broader problem that deserves serious attention.
The company has also reportedly changed its CFO twice. Combined with the payment issues, this raises serious concerns about financial management, leadership stability, and accountability.
When I raised my payment concerns, the situation escalated into accusations regarding company source code, references to legal complaints, and instructions to communicate through official legal channels.
I take intellectual property rights seriously. However, a source-code dispute does not erase an outstanding payment obligation. These are separate matters that should be addressed independently.
My message to other developers
Please be extremely careful before accepting opportunities with MedaStaré.
Get everything in writing. Confirm payment dates. Keep records of your contributions and communications.
Do not let promises replace actual payment.
Developers invest their time, skills, and professional experience into building products. We are professionals, not free labor.
My compensation remains unpaid, despite the written agreement.
I want the company to take responsibility, pay what it owes, and address the concerns of other affected engineers.
This is about accountability, not personal arguments.
If a company expects professional work, it must honor its professional commitments.
