Business Outlook

Pros

Startup Culture and numerous opportunities to grow.

Cons

CEO and leadership team fail to listen to employee feedback. Consistently disregarding the feedback of employees who talk with employees the most.

Derive Systems Response

Thanks for your candid feedback. We have recently made some changes to our senior leadership, and it is my sincere hope that you feel we are moving in the right direction in terms of better listening to employee feedback. If there is anything else you feel like we could be doing better, please feel free to contact me directly.

A really fun job

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Small teams, great benefits, flexible schedule, lack of dogmatic practices, management that seeks, and listens to, wisdom from the world class talent in house. Fun job with an interesting, ever-changing technology stack, and opportunities at all levels from cloud down to firmware.

Cons

Product owner layer is too thin, resulting in requirements bottlenecks. All UI decisions flow through one guy (who doen't have that kind of time). A mindset that you should feel empowered, but micromanagement that accomplishes the opposite. A clear dividing line between 'original' and 'new' employees with hints of contempt from both sides.

Derive Systems Response

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We hear your concerns and are indeed looking to hire on an additional UX designer within the next few weeks to relieve the bottleneck there. I will be sure to raise your product ownership concerns with our engineering leadership. In the meantime, feel free to submit your feedback at derivefeedback.com.
