Shiny parody of Ctuit, none of the integrity - Support Compeat Employee Review

Pros

Free beverages. A great group of people (here, in CA)

Cons

The product and team has been gutted by shortsighted, inequitable practices. Benefits have been lost while record profits are touted, salaries remain well below market value or cost of living. Ctuit was a great place to work with respect for employees and clients alike. This has given way to a culture of shiny platitudes, inane metrics, and increasingly little concern or emphasis for the team or product in California.

Would be great to get some one on one time personally to address your concerns directly. This review came in just a week before the new 2019 employee benefits presentations where we reduced premiums and will begin contributing to employee HSA accounts; salaries and job levels are being reviewed and market adjustments made with more to come as we continue to review. My personal hope is to have any employee who feels like this take the time to come see me, as your Head of HR, personally. The entire team, combined Compeat and CTuit, is filled with great people and there are a lot of good things ahead.

Pros

Day to day isn’t too “corporate”. Most coworkers on the floor are friendly and knowledgeable.

Cons

Leadership who were active in the trenches have jumped ship. Replaced by a rainbow of C-Level flavors and overstretched “product leads” who fiddle endlessly with roadmaps and ticket assignments. Execs pop down to Earth (via video) now and then for some “so proud” shtick, but fail to demonstrate basic engagement with problems in development. Releases and simple fixes alike pushed back for months; hundreds of man hours put into unreleased and unnecessary products; basic lack of quality filtering in management hires; etc., etc. “Merged” with Ctuit offices but keep no plan for communicating between them, much less adopting what worked in them. Deliverables managed by Ctuit in a few hours across two timezones take a week or longer between Houston and Austin. Totally different standards of "complete" and "customer ready". New third-party communication tools bought on every quarter with pretty swim lanes hailed as the solution to all problems, meanwhile no one enforces plain adherence to abiding by set deadlines. Ctuit’s relaxed comradery all the way up the chain replaced by sycophantic “haters gonna hate, we love our dogs and coffee!!!!!!” type culture while cliques, gossip, and disgruntled staff bubble under the surface; and HR voices concern about Glassdoor a month before a slew of mysterious 5 star reviews appear.

It's always tough getting feedback from a former employee who didn't feel positive about their experience with us. What we can confirm for certain is that we definitely don't make anyone post reviews. It's up to our employees and we simply ask all to speak openly and honestly. The team continues to strive for creating an environment where everyone feels they can innovate, speak up and be their best....veteran talent and new hires alike. Wishing you well and thanks for the feedback.
