Pros

As the majority of the reviews have mentioned, I too believe that my coworkers are fantastic. It's one of the reasons I had enjoyed making the trek to the office every day. We're the first of two tenants in a brand-new building (almost start-up feeling). Generally, the benefits are top-notch, particularly for companies the size of Relias. Lastly, our mission statement is sincere and the company actually values the path to satisfying that mission.

Cons

While the company suggests the "empowerment of employees" to make decisions, it's not the reality (despite continued ETL Powerpoint slides). The culture is toxic and not getting better--the "old guard" continues to decrease the capabilities and value of the company. During my tenure, three top-level execs left the company--I should have been more aware of those cues. Lastly, the continued departure of high level talent is shocking.

Pros

Amazing corporate culture Leadership listened to engineering on tools, technology stack, etc Actual product ownership, including necessary input and control (instead of being told you own a product and then not given the necessary access or tools to maintain it)

Cons

Hiring process involved psychological screening with a lot of implicit bias, almost like an IQ test. On the plus side, I've been told they discontinued its use after that was pointed out.

Pros

You have kind co-workers and good benefits.

Cons

The strategic direction is unclear for many parts of the business. There is not enough transparency around hiring decisions - including who is still with the company and where there are opportunities for growth.
