Pros

Centerfield is great environment for highly passionate individuals who are hungry to learn and grow. It is also an ideal place for seasoned tech experts who want to contribute to a growing tech stack and work alongside talented engineers. I have been fortunate to be on both sides during my time at Centerfield and would like to share my experience. I started as Sr. Software Engineer few years ago looking to learn and be part of team where I could make impact. During my first couple of years, I was constantly challenged and motivated to grow and learn. Fast forward a couple of years, I was rewarded with a promotion and given opportunity to manage a team of talented engineers. The upper management team has an open door policy and try to be accessible for every employee in the company, which is unusual for a company this size. They are very transparent and genuinely invest in talented employees and set them up for success by guiding, mentoring and providing additional training when necessary. Recently they brought in a leadership consultant that is conducting an 8 week training program for the middle management team out of the Los Angeles office. Centerfield also was rewarded a Best Places to Work in Los Angeles for 5 years in a row. You are nominated and awarded directly based on employee feedback collected through an anonymous survey. Does this sound like a company with poor culture?

Cons

Centerfield recently acquired a call center company and went from 70+ to 1200+ corporate employees and with that there are growing pains. When you grow that quickly overnight there are always things that don’t go well. There isn’t great communication between offices and management can be better about explaining the value of each product we are working on and how they align with the long-term vision of the company. Also we can better plan for projects so we don’t have to scramble so much as we approach deadlines. The management team is aware of these issues and is trying to solve them.

Pros

The hourly rate here is decent

Cons

They've laid off quite a few employees from 2 depts already, changed their employee handbook last week & are now firing new hires fresh out of training. Job security doesn't look promising.
