Pros

- The perks they offer in the form of educational reimbursement and medical/401k are decent but for the most part industry standard. - Flexible work environment.

Cons

- Promotions and compensation bonuses are incredibly rare with many celebratory meetings but no actual promotions to show employee appreciation that matters. - Despite being 100% WFH for over a year, SA has been slow to adapt in-person activities to a WFH environment where other companies have refined the way they transition in-person events to a virtual landscape. - Retention is incredibly poor, especially on the tech side where there is already a shortage of hands. - HR struggles with organization and fail to coordinate events in a timely manner.

Thank you for sharing this review. I take your criticism to heart and I know we have areas where we need to improve - especially as we scale. I hope that overall you have had a positive experience in building your technical career here. With respect to your concerns around adapting how we collaborate for the new world of work as well as better real-time recognition for impact - both are key priorities for this year. We work hard to support each other and I’ll use this feedback to prioritize ways I can support the team. Thanks again, Bryce McDonnell, Vice President of Engineering.

Subpar working environment

Pros

- Junior employees are cool - Office location

Cons

- Few benefits (i.e. lunch 3x a week), which are slowly being removed as we hire more people - Low pay - Doesn't feel like a startup. I've worked at a few startups and this one feels like a shop of employees being asked to grind out for nothing in return - Upper management is mostly filled with smart people who are not great managers

We respect and value our employees and appreciate all you do. We know you work hard and are invested in not only our success, but in the mission that drives our company – proven by the fact that we have only a 5% turnover rate, company-wide across all departments. We’re committed to keeping this company a great place to work and build careers. Continue talking to us, and know that we’re listening and we care about our people and our workplace. Thanks for your feedback.
