Pros

ScienceLogic is a solid medium-sized startup with good prospects and sound finances. If they play their cards right, the future will be very bright. The CEO is very involved, excited, and invested. Dave is constantly driving the company forward with his energy and leadership. If he is any indication of the company's direction, they should be fine. The product is exciting and fills several gaps in the industry that pay big returns. It will need to keep evolving to keep up. This is not a certainty. Great compensation, and good benefits. Very flexible hours and work environment. People have fun doing their jobs and genuinely seem to enjoy the work.

Cons

Engineering (and the whole company) is playing catchup to the growth explosion they've been undergoing. Mature development practices are just getting underway like automated testing, continuous integration, and unit testing. This is to be expected for a company just coming out of being a small start up. The technical engineering leadership is weak. Most of the technical experts in engineering spent most of their time on proof of concept projects and not on helping steer other engineers. Most engineers hear very little from the technical leaders. This will and must change, but it is sad to see that so few of the code veterans are stepping up to help new employees understand the bigger picture.

Pros

I strongly encourage reps to try and get on this team. I've been at 3 different inside sales roles and this is the best. I enjoy going to work everyday - its actually fun !!! 3 inside reps from my team just got promoted to field rep roles. The BDR teams are all hitting our numbers and making money. We earn monthly bonuses, extra days off and extra stock options.

Cons

its inside sales - we work around tables making calls and emails all day. However, we get to play music, watch espn and play games (hoop shoot, putting green) every day. 401k match is only 3%.

Pros

Advanced software, so constantly learning new things and familiarizing yourself with industry standards and practices. Direct expectations of responsibilities, direct/informative management instruction/feedback. If you don't handle honest criticism well, this may not be the place for you...but if you're the type that actually wants to improve yourself and your knowledge, you will thrive here. Rewarding environment - if you put the work in and show your desire to grow, you will be rewarded here, given more opportunities and responsibilities. On a lighter note, I've been lucky enough to work for a couple companies that had a close "family-feel" in the office, and this is absolutely one of those environments. There are plenty of coworkers in other departments that I've never met or don't remember their name, yet I still feel close with them, like we're working on the same project that we both care about very much and want to see it grow as much as possible. Maybe that's just a private software company thing. At the time of this review, we just celebrated another company holiday party held in a hotel ballroom and it was very classy and extremely fun. Everyone was laughing and dancing and there were loads of door prizes and fake casino gambling for contest prize givaways and lots more. I really look forward to our holiday parties each December, our HR team really puts a ton of work into the event each year. They put in a ton of work normally, for that matter. I'm an engineer and very technical, but for some reason I've always had a difficult time understanding how health/dental/etc insurance works. On more than one occasion, our manager of HR, Tricia Worden has sat me down for more than an hour, and tried so hard to map the entire process out for me, bless her innocent heart. She explains it so well, and I feel so bad 10 minutes later when I forget all of it every time.

Cons

Lazy people need not apply, it won't work out well. This is not an environment where you can phone it in half the week and leave early every Friday to beat traffic. It's not uncommon to see a handful of people working well outside their expected office hours as necessary. We do so because we want to make this company better. If you can't handle working late on an important issue or working from home a few hours on a Saturday a couple times a month, you won't enjoy this environment. Other main topic that I see some potential new employees having issues with is the quickness of change that can happen in a private software company. Growth has been explosive this last year; our Support team has more than doubled in size in just the last year, and our number of customers/clients has increased at an intense rate. For this reason, procedures and organization constantly changes to accommodate. This is not an environment where you sit down and do a consistent order of tasks every day. Understandably, that isn't for everyone. Some people enjoy it, such as myself. The Support issues we deal with day-to-day aren't resolved by "turning it off and back on again"...the people that call us are the admins for the companies that run our software, EM7. Most issues require devotion and diligence to resolve, and sometimes it takes a lot of hard, rewarding work.
