Pros

Before Covid, I'd say remote work, but nowadays you can find remote opportunities everywhere. There are many smart engineers in here.

Cons

- Leadership praises over-work. One time at an all-hands meeting leadership was putting as an example one engineer who was on PTO with his family at the beach and got a call from work to resolve some issues with an angry client. - Below market compensation. During my time here I talked with several W2 employees about salaries, we all were getting paid less than the average market compensation, but the worse is for international contractors! They really get pay peanuts. - The taco culture. This is really funny honestly, people give digital tacos to each other for small accomplishments and there's a leaderboard!

Thank you for leaving such candid feedback. We are constantly looking to improve the employee experience at Modus and your thoughts on culture and compensation are especially important to us. Over-work is definitely something we don’t encourage at Modus as we understand life comes before anything else. Your feedback truly helps us understand that we must be very careful with the behaviors we are praising as they can be interpreted in ways we did not intend to. We appreciate your feedback regarding compensation and will take this as an opportunity to revisit our rates. I’d like to discuss this more to better understand how we can improve our employee and contractor experience. Please send me an email at stephanie.myrie@moduscreate.com or respond here, whichever is most comfortable for you.

Pros

Solid leadership team that has had proven success together in the past at a former company. Nice people! Technically, strong. Growing, and a strategy in place to do so. 100% remote-first company. If you love to build, you want to work here.

Cons

They are still tightenging things up and in discovery mode; new processes are being developed (change management in place) - this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm glad to hear you've had such a positive experience with your colleagues. Our people have always been one of Modus Create's greatest strengths, and I'm proud of the collaborative community we've built together. I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced our recent changes differently. As our company continues to evolve, we've made intentional changes to strengthen how we operate, support our teams, and position Modus for the future. We recognize that change can feel disruptive, and we know not everyone will experience it the same way. Building and protecting our culture remains a priority for our leadership team. We continue to seek feedback, listen to our employees, and make adjustments as we learn. Thank you again for sharing your perspective—it helps us continue to improve. VP, People Nicole Kunkel
