Pros

There are many employees that care tremendously about the company and work hard to make things better.

Cons

I am not sure why Wayne Roberts bothers to respond to the reviews, he says the same damn thing over and over. sorry it didn't work for you...blah blah blah. That is not responding. There are not changes that are occuring to all of these issues being brought to your attention. Your turnover is some departments is out of this world . How do those managers KEEP their jobs? Is there hanky panky on the side that allows it? Just crazy to see what was once a very "people" company turn away from the people who made the company. There are some people who are recognized constantly and then some who work their rumps off and get nothing but crap constantly. How does this happen? Why don't you care enough to make changes?

I’m sorry you’ve found some of my responses on Glassdoor to be lacking. Admittedly, I don’t get out on Glassdoor that often but I do eventually respond to every review. In fairness, if you actually read through my responses over time, you would find plenty that are detailed and many that acknowledge the underlying facts of the review. Usually when you see a shorter response, it is due to one of the following reasons - 1) the review is positive and doesn’t really require a detailed response, 2) the review is about a personnel issue(s) which I can’t or won’t respond to in a public forum for obvious reasons, and/or 3) the review is unprofessional, personal, emotional and/or slanderous and it speaks for itself to anyone else reading it and my commentary isn’t necessary. In all cases, I try to take the high road even when the reviewer doesn’t. Even though this review largely fits the criteria in #2 and #3 above, I will address the claims made around attrition being high in some teams. Now, let’s first get some facts out there. We track attrition, both voluntary and involuntary. In fact, it is very detailed tracking. We conduct exit interviews and survey exiting employees after the fact in order to understand reasons for leaving. As a company, our attrition is in-line with our peer companies (by location, industry, etc). Of course, being “in-line” isn’t good enough for us. It reeks of mediocrity or being average and we want to be the best. We want to be great and we can always do better. That is our focus. We also track it by leader, from the immediate manager up to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT). We only have a handful of managers that have materially higher attrition in their teams/orgs than others. In every case, we dig into that team. We look at all the reasons and look for patterns. We coach the leader and provide feedback and give them ample opportunity to remedy the situation. Most do so. If they don’t, we will take action. If the reviewer were also being fair, they would acknowledge that they don’t see all the facts or are not aware of everything involved in departures. They can’t know, nor should they. It’s why we don’t go into specifics on this forum or any other. It’s not professional nor fair to those involved. In our company, we publicly say goodbye to everyone that leaves in our Monthly Huddles. We don’t hide behind it. But we also don’t discuss the specifics and always take the high road. If there are real issues with a manager, we will address it. Perhaps not always in the time frame the reviewer wants, but it won’t go unaddressed. Those are the facts. To the reviewer, you know where to find me if you want to discuss further. To anyone else reading this, I hope this provides some facts and context to go along with the review. In the meantime, I will continue to do my best to lead Abrigo and live to our core values of Heart and SOUL. Best, Wayne Roberts Chief Executive Officer

Pros

Good people to work with, every works really hard. Good communication and respect amongst team members. They listen to your feedback.

Cons

Lack of diversity especially in middle management. Ratio of product owners to software engineers is almost 1:1, which could lead to overwork or constant interruptions.

Thanks for the review and feedback. Our people and culture are our best asset and you acknowledge this in the review. As for diversity, I agree with you that we can always do better and we are committed to do so. We want to be the company everyone wants to join and no one wants to leave. We've started several employee resource groups which include the Abrigo Women's Group, Pride and Allies Group, and DARE (racial diversity). Members of the C-Team are exec sponsors on each. I am the exec sponsor for DARE. It's not the full answer, but one of the steps. For diversity, we are also focused on ensuring we have a welcoming and safe environment and culture. We also want to ensure we hire the best person for the job and that we are sourcing to ensure we fully cast the net to do so. Abrigo is also doing hiring manager training, interviewer training, and unconscious bias training. These are just some of the steps and I hope that helps any reader of the review with some facts and context. As for the ratio of developers to product owners, we strive to ensure that this ratio is balanced so that the developer has plenty of work coming in each sprint from the product owner. I'll work with our CTO to ensure we continue to do so. Thanks again for the review and all my best in the next phase of your career journey. Regards, Wayne Roberts Chief Executive Officer
