Pros

- Talented Engineering Team Eager for Growth. - Opportunities for self-directed learning and skill enhancement. - High level of responsibility and ownership given to engineering staff. - Broad range of projects offers diverse skill set development.

Cons

- The promotional process was slated to roll out in February but has yet to be implemented, leading to employee dissatisfaction and lack of motivation. - There is a noticeable lack of engineering backfills and new hires, placing additional pressure on the existing team. - The company does not foster a healthy work-life balance, leading to burnout and decreased productivity. - Although the company claims to prioritize "People + Technology," actions do not align with this philosophy. - Projects are often initiated without full preparation, leading to significant obstacles and setbacks. - Cost-of-living raises are primarily available to sales teams, while engineering and other departments are overlooked. - The sudden termination of the entire pre-sales team adversely affected the delivery team and overall workflow. - Except for a few, the engineering team is generally under-compensated relative to industry standards. - Leadership is unresponsive to communications via Slack and email, hindering effective dialogue and problem-solving. - The company leans towards a 'sales bro culture,' which can be unwelcoming for those from different backgrounds. - An overreliance on often underperforming contractors has added stress and workload to the in-house engineering team. - Sales teams receive minimal training and upskilling, while engineering is expected to self-learn complex topics like machine learning. - Health insurance benefits are terminated immediately upon leaving the company, causing undue stress during transitions. - New KPIs for the engineering team have been promised for a long time but are still undefined, causing confusion and lack of direction. - The company could benefit from a more focused investment in product definition and streamlining internal processes for improved accuracy.

Pros

Great looking office in Rochester DG Team You will develop depression and anxiety

Cons

Disorganized, disconnected, and resource constrained. Leadership pressures the sales team to close business with 1 real SA who's so backlogged that SOWs are never answered on time. No training regarding processes. Massive turnover in engineering and sales departments. Favoritism. If you are not in the inner circle, you are scrutinized on every deal and given no grace. Lastly, it's a toxic pressure cooker. The CEO prides himself on going at "neck breaking speed" but the company doesn't run smoothly enough to achieve that, and their answer is to fire everyone and start over again, and again, and again.
