Pros

The people make it worthwhile if you are younger in age. Free Lunch Benefits/ 401k is pretty good There were bonuses ( Not very good ones)

Cons

They want to be a top tier technology firm along the shore, but offer low salaries, typically hiring kids right out of school. This is why their products are not good. No experience = bad products. No corporate experience. Management at the top is not good. Vacation/ time off is pretty low compared to anywhere else I have worked. Expected to work 8:30 to 5. What happened to flexible schedules/ work life balance? Hiring practices are a joke Company asks you to post open jobs on social media. . Never considered anyone that was referred, (probably didnt want to pay the 1000 in referral bonus ) No room to advance careers.

We appreciate the opportunity to hear your concerns and clear the air. While we do offer career opportunities for new graduates, we love finding talent with prior experience. In fact, 80% of the employees hired in the past 6 months have all had previous experience in their field before joining Marathon Data (now WorkWave)! Yes, our standard office office hours are indeed 8:30 to 5, but we have many team members that work modified schedules, or work remotely full or part time based on their needs. We also recently announced that everyone will be getting 5 more days of PTO starting in 2016! Thank you for encouraging others to apply - it's great to hear that you did enjoy your time at WorkWave enough to refer your friends. I'm sorry to hear that your referrals didn't pass our rigorous screening process. We love referrals though and are exited when we find ones that are the right fit. In fact we've hired over 40 employees from referrals in just the past 18 months including 7 of the most recent 10 hires! As the person in charge of all exit interviews, I'm sorry to hear that these concerns weren't mentioned at the time of your departure from the company. If you have any other concerns or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at HR@workwave.com. Thanks!

Pros

WorkWave is truly one of the best work environments I’ve experienced. The company has strong momentum, a modern product vision, and a culture that makes you feel excited about where things are headed. What stands out most is the forward‑looking strategy, supportive teams, and leadership that communicates openly and invests in people. There’s real trust, autonomy, and a shared sense of ownership across the organization.

Cons

Truly none worth noting here.

Pros

The unlimited pto and remote work is the only thing that keeps people

Cons

Basically the entire leadership and manangement. 2 years ago they company went under a massive leadership shift and it was not for the better. Workwave used to have an amazing culture people actually enjoyed working there. Now your just another number that leadership doesnt care about. Your expected to work late and weekends at the result of poor planning by manangement, work load is way to much, and they are constantly layoffs. How many layoffs do they need before they reach their goal? everyones afraid for their job. Im convinced the positive reviews are from the leadership themselves to boost the ratings here. Not the place it once was and its a shame. The pay is very low too for the staff theyve had for years.
