Pros

I love being part of this fast-moving, growing company. As a member of the leadership team, I'm able to shape the corporate culture, frame the strategy for the piece of the business I'm responsible for, and make decisions that directly impact the day-to-day work I and my team do. I left a Fortune 100 company to move to Relias, and would make the shift again in a hot second. The very structured onboarding process makes learning the company history, products, and department structure easy -- plus having a group of people share your two-week bootcamp gives you an instant cadre of contacts. I love the creative energy, the office space, and absolutely the free fruit and wellness programs.

Cons

This SMB has a smaller benefits package than that at my previous employer, and I did take a salary and vacation cut to join -- that said, I gained a job where work/life balance is real, where I laugh every day, and where I can see an amazing growth period ahead.

Thank you for the in-depth review. We love to hear when employees are enjoying their experience and are happy they made the switch to join Relias. You are accurate in saying that this is a fast-moving, growing company. It's been that way since Day 1 and continues to be in growth mode. Our new hire onboarding process has gotten a lot of great reviews over the years. New Relians love to see the company dedicate all that time to their development. Enjoy the work/life balance and keep laughing every day! Thanks again!

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.
