Pros

free meals, activity area, snacks, open bar, gym membership, and full benefits. Good engineers, design, and onboarding

Cons

Their software solution can't actually do what it claims, it does not integrate with enterprise solutions that all large companies us (e.g., Kinaxis, SAP, Oracle, Manhattan, etc), it is not a true cloud solution (more like a SaaS) using standard API/microservices, and even though they are hard-working, most (if not all) of the engineering & product teams LACK actual supply chain operational experience (e.g., pp, procurement, S&OP, logistics, WH, inventory management, O2C or P2P integration, etc) which means they have no business making the assumptions they do about how their clients can benefit - arrogance to tell mature manufacturing clients how to run their businesses when they don't even know basic supply chain concepts or how they actually operate. Their solution (at best) is a notification service that cannot manage, perform, or accurately analyze any of the operational functions that any supply chain operation would run (e.g., PP, P2P, O2C, logistics, WH, or 3PL). Credibility or product veracity would not be a significant issue if leadership actually had some supply chain operational experience or respected those who do. This company is a typical silicon-valley startup lacking real supply chain knowledge or solution-delivery experience. In a word, vaporware ... a very valid reason why the few clients they've signed up promptly cancelled ... red flags went wild during my interviewing process even though I really wanted to believe that they could evolve and learn from those they hired with real-world experience.

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.
