Thank you so much for your 3-year contribution at MasterControl and for taking the time to leave us a review! Feedback is the best way to help us improve. We are so glad to hear that you recognize how much Jon Beckstrand, our fabulous CEO, cares about making it a great place to work. It's unfortunate to hear that you haven't been impressed with leadership recently. There has certainly been a lot of change (specifically within our engineering department) over the past year. This review is an excellent reminder that we can always foster a more transparent environment and better communicate change. At MasterControl, we promote a servant leadership environment and we even provide leadership training on servant leadership and all of the amazing Arbinger books out there. We're sorry that you don't feel there were conversations on how to improve performance. We encourage our leaders and individual contributors alike to provide constructive feedback to help each other grow. Ultimately, this is how we grow as a company. Please feel free to reach out to our HR department if you'd like to provide more feedback and/or continue this conversation. We would be happy to chat with you!

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.
