Sentinel reviews

At Sentinel, we strive to have each and every employee with us, no matter the duration, leave with a positive impression. The “Advice to Management” really resonates with us. We have an open door policy available so everyone has a chance to be heard when they have ideas, suggestions, problems, or want to discuss next steps in their careers. Our management team takes this policy very seriously, and the feedback received is used quite often in decision-making. We hope this open door policy is leveraged by any employee that has concerns about their role or career at Sentinel. While we are always disappointed to receive a low rating by a former employee, we will continue to keep the focus on creating an environment that fosters personal growth, encourages creativity, and rewards success. For the majority, this formula not only allows them to thrive professionally, but also promotes a positive work environment that they have continuously ranked as a “Best Places to Work” in both the Chicago Tribune and Arizona Republic.

Sentinel has been in business just shy of 35 years. Recruiting and retaining a very talented team of employees is vital to our ability to deliver an uncompromising customer service experience, and implement best in class business solutions for our customers, many of whom have between 500 and 5,000 employees. We take feedback - both positive and negative - of current and former employees very seriously. For example, the creation of supplemental sales training resources and a streamlined recruiting process have resulted from current employee feedback as well as reviews from forums like Glassdoor. Glassdoor is a great tool for us to use to keep our finger on the pulse of how our organization looks to current and prospective employees. We would encourage anyone who does not understand how Glassdoor works to read the Glassdoor Community Guidelines for a better understanding – in summary, businesses on Glassdoor do not have the ability to delete or remove reviews. Technology is our core business. As noted in this review, we have many great, technically talented team members who have experienced great success with Sentinel. We’re proud to have teams from pre-sales through post-sales, boasting incredible resumes in the industry as well as holding industry leading certifications and qualifications. Because they are so important to us, we offer them continued education and industry training allowing them to continue to grow and advance. Turnover at Sentinel has been relatively rare in an industry that typically experiences relatively high turnover rates - our average tenure of any team member is well above industry averages. Work-life balance is a topic of conversation across all tech organizations. We are no exception. Our approach is an open dialogue between all levels of management and their teams. Our open door policy has yielded great communication around not only what we are doing well and where we can improve, but more importantly, solutions they think would work best for their teams. These have played a key role in our continued efforts to foster a productive work-life balance. For existing, new or prospective technical talent, we believe our continued dedication to career advancement, open dialogue, elite partnerships, access to clients from mid-size to enterprise—across verticals, and dedication to continuing to grow in the right direction, are key differentiators in the industry.
