Pros

Free food for a certain time i was there but never time to eat built some great peer connections

Cons

where do i start: set up for FAILURE and gaslit to make you believe you are not a good resource ZERO new hire onboarding help under the false expectation of self starter - you are just given a desk and left to figure out everything on your own and if you don't fake it within the first week you are immediately placed on a radar for the next firing round - great for morality I had the misfortune of working with a man who had an anger management problem - i'm sure he voted for me to be let go but i was told to take on lesser responsibilities. he was then a receiver of many such complaints for behavioral reasons His position wasn't impacted at all because SEXISM On the other hand I was placed on high scrutiny and very nasty communication by my yes man manager, and a lady leading our team I was made to feel like I had no skills or positive career goals because elementum had NO process in place to interact with employees or customers but definitely had LOFTY goals of making money via extremely short implementation timelines basically if you were part of professional services you were given ZERO time to ramp up and any complaints were taken as your inability to do work I'm SO glad to be out of there because I needed mental health recuperation after working in this excuse for a company everything was just always ALL TALK and the political games were just - chef's kiss

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.
