No longer a great place to work.

Pros

Two stars for the amazing people I was privileged to know and work with. Some of the best I've met. Unfortunately, many have moved on due to the reasons below.

Cons

Detroit Labs has been slowly going downhill for the past few years. This used to be an exceptional place to work, but culture and people are no longer priorities. Many of the best folks saw the writing on the wall and left. Leadership is visibly burned out and disconnected. Sales has never been a strong suit and biz dev is just floundering. The apprentice program was one of the things that made Labs special and it's long gone. Layoffs have cut most early career folks. Compensation is low and titles are deflated compared to market.

Great people, broken processes, bad sales

Business Outlook

Pros

- Some of the most empathetic and intelligent humans in Detroit hang their hat at Detroit Labs. This is because of its storied past, not the current state of the company. - Genuine opportunities for juniors and mid level developers to hone their craft.

Cons

- Complete lack of sales - Lack of recent innovation, previously Detroit Labs was actively working on frameworks and open source projects. - Extremely difficult to get promoted from within. When I was denied an internal promotion, the conversation made me feel small and irrelevant. I had been working my tail off for 2+ years and it felt like nobody in leadership noticed.
