meh it's alright - Cloud Software Engineer EarthScope Consortium Employee Review

It's a great experience. People love and respect each other.

The process of signing a contract is a little time-consuming.

- Great community and supportive colleagues. Very diverse & welcoming workplace compared to my past experiences in tech and academia - Really good benefits, very flexible schedule - Good job security & career longevity (*current anti-science government funding might ruin that :( ) - Can show up every day feeling like the work matters. There's no guilt over the ethics of what we're doing, or feeling like the job is to enrich the bank accounts of the wrong people.

- Frequent changes to team structures, project management frameworks, and software platforms result in disorganized project oversight and slow work progress. Everyone's busy implementing new structural systems, and nobody's keeping tabs on the actual work getting done. - Seems like 80% of the work gets done by 20% of the people, but there's no reward or consequence for being a high or low performer. There's no incentive to stay motivated or be ambitious. Lots of staff are on cruise-control. - Pay is so-so and advancement opportunities are hard to come by.
