Salsify Senior Software Engineer reviews

It's not great for a person who wants to derive a lot of meaning from their job. Basically Salsify exists to help brand manufacturers list their products on retail websites. As you learn more about it, the retail industry has many interesting details and challenges, but still it's ultimately about selling stuff. Salsify isn't evil, but if you want your life to involve more soulful work, you likely need to figure out how to do that outside the office. Some engineering-specific cons: the team is big enough that it's difficult to just start using a new technology or process that you're personally excited about - an early stage startup would be much better for that. Similarly, the longer tenured people aren't particularly open to ideas from newer engineers, so you need to have very strong social skills and persistence to drive changes. As a new employee, it's possible to be quite productive, but it feels pretty isolated.

Normal growing pains (keeping teams in sync). Nothing that isn't actively being addressed.
