Pros

Fully engaged senior leadership team. Generous employee benefits and a desire to make the employment experience a good one. Strong focus on employee retention. The work the company does is meaningful.

Cons

Constant reorganization, it never seems to settle. It's being done for the good of clients and company, but it makes finding a groove hard. Updates communicated on the company's progress or status seem to be too technical. It's hard to determine what it really means sometimes. It's hard to determine how I, as a team member, are directly impacted.

Thank you for this feedback, and thank you for the contributions you've made for over 3 years, to the company's mission and growth and success. I agree with you that there has been a great deal of growth, and also a great deal of change, including several reorganizations during that time. We'll talk more about that today in our all team member meeting. One way we're trying to manage the need to make growth-related organizational changes, with the need for the dust to settle, is to make an organizational review part of our annual planning process, and try to avoid any major organizational updates or changes other than in the annual planning cycle. That will hopefully enable us to be settled in for most of each year, and then be mentally ready once a year to step back (which, because of our significant growth as a company, is an important step to take each year) and consider how we are organized. We'll also work on helping to connect our day-to-day work with the big picture and the overall strategy of the company. If you have any more ideas of how we could do this more effectively, I'd welcome the chance to visit 1:1 with you. Just reach out to Jenn Howard and we can set up some time to visit. Best, Dan

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
