Pros

MeridianLink's employees are kind and supportive. The company is completely remote.

Cons

Employees are overworked and under appreciated. There are a lot of employees who are the only ones who do their job, so they don't have much support if they need time off or if things get very busy (which happens a lot). Employees are expected to constantly improve their work and processes and how much work they do, but the company rarely provides resources or staff to make these changes. MeridianLink also does not provide enough on the job training for most departments. Work-life balance is poor. The executive team has also completely changed over the last few years, more than once for some positions, and that has caused a lot of confusion about the company . There have also been many layoffs over the last few years which is worrying.

Pros

High-paced organization on path to growth. Remote work is awesome but also plenty of opportunities to see co-workers in person. New leadership with eye to service and innovation. Company has been around for over 20 years but still operates like a start up so plenty of chances to have influence.

Cons

Competing priorities, sometimes budget is hard to come by. Slow planning process.

Pros

-Remote-first, WFH stipend, decent PTO, Great Place to Work Certified. -Not too woke for a CA company. -Recently went private which hopefully will be a good thing. -Good work-life balance, I never work more than 40/week. -If you like AI-assisted development, Github Copilot (for everyone) and Claude Code (for seniors) are provided. -They haven't had layoffs since 2024.

Cons

-Revolving door of upper leadership. Brand new CTO; who knows what he'll do? -Many dev teams are majority cheap offshore contractors. Minimal feeling of being on a team; I don't know most of my coworkers. No teambuilding activities. -Reliance on poor metrics like code coverage and velocity. Managing by metrics and dashboards. -Minimal salary raises. -CEO sends out motivational "rah rah" emails every Friday. -Disconnect between what developers are experiencing and what upper management thinks is going on. -Company is going "all in" on AI, and have unrealistic expectations of what AI can accomplish. Like they think they can get A-level work out of C-level developers through AI usage. AI fatigue is real. -Not all managers are emotionally intelligent or even technically adept.
