Pros

Benefits People Autonomy It's a decent company that wants to do the best they can.

Cons

Onboarding Dated Processes During the interview and hiring process there were many times I felt left in the dark and did not know what was going on. Once hired there was no specific onboarding process. It took me many months before I even really knew what my specific duties were and how to complete them satisfactorily, and even then it has been a pretty consistent "That's not quite what we meant....we wanted it this way." So it was a pretty rough start, even though the people were kind. It feels like MasterControl wants to be a slick tech company that adapts quickly, but the upper echelons of management seem to operate by old standards from the late 90's. Everything moves slowly, and there is a lot of resistance to change.

Pros

Great people and culture. Solid benefits, Health insurance paid 100%.

Cons

Comp is ok. Promotions are almost impossible to get. Constant layoffs, maybe 5-7 times in the past 12 months? Engineering leadership is constantly switching priorities and lacks vision, transparency, and ownership. Long-standing traditions are now being canceled, likely to save money. Poor AI posture in engineering. Engineers are encouraged to spend ridiculous amounts on AI tokens, then the company does layoffs because it spent too much on AI.
