Pros
Celerant is a great place to grow and get experience but also a place that can easily be career. They are the number 1 retail software provider so you can be confident that the company is here to stay. Celerant maintains a small company feel and respects the opinions of the team members and provides exposure to many difference aspects of software support and development. They provide training to grow the staff and are always looking to promote with in the company when they can to senior and management positions. The tools and skills you learn are industry specific as well as software specific so the experience gained here can be applied in the future. Traditionally there was an in person work day, with weekly pizza lunch provided to all staff. Since COVID, the company has adapted to a work from home model but maintains an office in Staten Island that always has staff present if preferred over working from home. Celerant also has started team building weeks to build the relationships of new hires and existing staff and periodically sends out gift cards to staff for lunch in place of the pizza Friday. Employees all are very friendly and regardless if you are the CEO or a new hire, everyone is very easy to approach and work with. There is typically no issue with taking time off when needed and the PTO is accrued. Management is flexible and understanding of time off requests. Celerant has a performance review process yearly to help staff grow and also recognize staff for their hard work. They do a consistent in providing yearly salary increases based on your performance. Overall, a great place to work and feel that you are are valued as well as feel ownership of the product the Celerant is providing.
Cons
Used to provide half day Friday's in the summer and a company match on 401K with vesting but that has not been present since prior to COVID. There are also only 6 federal holidays observed and would be nice to have a few more as floating holidays. For long term employees, once you reach 5 years of service, there is no benefit for longevity such as additional PTO such as an additional day every 2 years.
