Mixed Bag - Good First Job but Culture Needs Work

Technical support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome coworkers on the individual contributor level. Very cool office in downtown PDX that's unfortunately mostly vacant. Great place to get your foot in the door if you're newer or getting back into tech. Pretty laid back work environment.

Cons

Upper Leadership is very removed and hard to connect with. Non-competitive salary and benefits. Not doing much about employee retention and experiencing very high turnover. Product has immense tech debt. Disappointed to see a lot of talk about DEI but very little actual work in that area. Has a very confusing way of suddenly firing key members of the team without discussing it with the team to see what the impacts would be.

Pros

Pros: -Customer base -Benefits are decent (not the greatest compared to other tech companies but OK) -They are starting to ramp up continuing education programs, and DEI awareness programs -They are trying to get diverse in their practices -Informal communication and virtual first culture is great -Great with work/life balance -If you know how to communicate your wants/needs and have the right folks to speak with ... you can go far All teams / managers are different and there's some teams that really cultivate growth, success, diversity, and different perspectives

Cons

-Lack of management training (please make sure if you're promoting someone to a manager, it's not because they were good at their last position being a non-manager but they are also good at coaching, adapting, and cultivating the skill sets on their team -Perhaps better benefits and stock incentives -Involve critical employees in product changes vs just allowing it to be part of an executive huddle, perspectives from employees who face customers everyday would be more realistic -Don't have a favoritism mentality within teams
