Pros

+ High confidence in future success. I have been at the company for over three years. Through the ups and downs, I have never had more confidence in the direction we're heading and our future success. We try things. Admit mistakes. Learn fast. Iterate. We're honest about our weaknesses and are doubling down on our strengths. + High confidence in mgmt. I have seen upper management take the hit while making the right decision for the company. Whether it was related to company bonuses, OKRs, admitting personal failures. It is not a culture of machismo or needing to be the smartest person in the room. + High confidence in cultural values. The DNA of the company sets us apart and sets us up to succeed in the long term. Success of the company > success of the individual. The best ideas win. We can operate in ambiguity and thrive in volatility.

Cons

- We know we need to get better at repeatability and process to move quickly and scale. This is nothing unique to rapidly growing companies, but the evolving environment can be challenging for some. - It's a team sport at Elementum. Any ego will show up and be rigorously cut down. The best ideas win. If you feel the need to justify your own existence or need to take the credit or pass the buck, you will not fit in at this company.

Pros

Pay wasn't half bad and some times the lunches were decent

Cons

Lets be clear, Elementum is NOT a start up Per Nader's own words, Elementum has been around for awhile but never amounted to much. Almost the entire work force was laid off after years of supporting a garbage product. Then they attempted to re-invent themselves as a "supply chain" product. Within the yearish I was there it went from supply chain to a Service Now knock off and finally to piggy backing off of Snowflake to make themselves look like they are a legit data analytics company. And now "AI Driven Workflow"? These are just catchy words and phrases. It means nothing. Their product is garbage. Countless times you hear about big issues from big name customers and the "fix" was band aid on an gun shot wound. We were all told to log into the app store and give the app a 5 star rating, but it was just plain bad. The app is a glorified ticketing system. Add to it the relentless turn over. It seemed like once a week someone was fired and there was NEVER any plan in place to replace them. Within 1 month the main guy for software development was canned and then the director of engineering was gone, out of the blue, no warning. I ran all of the IT and was kept in the dark about most everything, including off boards. I was finally term'd after I turned down wanting to take on more work and roles without any additional pay in the engineering department. I am not an engineer and I did not want to be one, so I was let go. Fun story, Nader had the habit of just randomly showing up with new computers and I would literally be the last to know. There was a situation with a computer that we could not account for. This led to me having my final payouts being delayed for just about a month with absolutely no word from anyone from the company. I had to hound the HR rep almost weekly.
