Pros

- There're still some good people who you can learn from - Lunches provided - Next to 101

Cons

- Benefits are worse then they used to be. Health benefits/401k are on the budget cut - Bonuses are being cut here and there, there was a 50% cut just because - Changes on immigration policy - they won't start processing GC before you worked for 1 year at least - Work you to death. People literally leave with health problems - Random laying off people - PTO is unlimited on paper, in real life you have to go and ask VP if you wanna get 2 weeks. - Average pay, impossible to get a raise - Stocks worth nothing with all of the funding the company's got - Absolutely 0 money spent on employees skills development - Working over weekends is a regular life, of course no one gives extra day off nor it's paid - Force marketing people to put all of the 5 stars review here

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.
