Pros

Free food but does that really matter? Pets allowed

Cons

Surprisingly I see a couple of good reviews and they are from inner circle of the CEO (Nader)- do not believe them. The CEO a typical smooth talking Sales Rep who became a CEO by an accident. He listens to only what he wants to listen. He has surrounded himself by people like himself who say Yes. The company has lost credibility and momentum because of pathetic management by the CEO. He repeatedly changes corporate and product strategy based on fake deals and fake promises. Then he starts micro managing marketing, sales and product as if he's a pro. No wonder there's new sales, product and engineering heads every 9-12 months. CEO, and his cronies, have no Enterprise experience and don't know how to guide a company who does not have product market fit, so he changes company's direction every 3 months. If 5-6 prospects provides positive feedback, CEO will go crazy and start spreading fake news that we are going to become a billion dollar company. Those prospects never become customers and then Nader has to again cut company expense to save his job. Honesty, Nader / CEO and the fake CFO / Founder have no moral values. They have somehow managed to save their job at the expense of 100s of other hard working employees over several years. What a shame! Other problem is that the platform is totally messed up and only way to fix it is to start all over again..

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.
