Pros

I love the people that I work with. Great work/life balance. Fitness clubs give you an hour a week to get paid to exercise. Pretty laid back place to work.

Cons

The pay is becoming less competitive. Dental and vision is not covered. Only a week of paternity leave. Company seems to be shifting from really wanting to make their employees happy to really wanting to conserve every dollar possible.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We value your perspective - our goal is to make MasterControl one of the best places you've worked at. It's important to us as a company to ensure that our team members are compensated fairly and even generously. To make that possible, we conduct ongoing research into competitive compensation across the software industry. Covid-19 has brought a lot of insecurity to the entire business world, and our industry is no exception; these are difficult times. Despite these difficult times, we've actually increased our healthcare benefit allowance and maintained wellness benefits, complimentary stays in our company condos in Moab, UT, and other great quality-of-life benefits. We would love to hear more about your concerns; please feel free to contact HR to discuss at any time. We wish you the best!

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.
