Pros

TE is full of smart and good natured people that really want to succeed and are willing to help. It's also a great place to learn about SaaS and the fast moving challenges that presents themself in this industry. Also, a great opportunity to work in the Fintech space which isn't super common in the midwest. The product is very popular in the mortgage space.

Cons

There is a complete lack of leadership starting at the top that works its way down in each department. There is little loyalty and it's extremely ironic that gratitude is a "core value". The CEO thinks he's building the next Salesforce or Veeva (which he reminds people often) of financial services, rather than focus on just being Total Expert. The CEO had so little trust in his employees that he couldn't remove himself from anything from deal review, to customer or prospect meetings. Not a great way to build confidence. Turnover was bad. I saw 3 CROs/heads of sales in 3 years all whom were let go, multiple marketing leaders, too many sales reps to count and unfortunately so much more. So much talent wasted due to a lack of leadership and direction. Its tough to build confidence when a wave of firings happen every 3-6 months. The transparency is lacking in almost every facet from product to layoffs. This is a company that so badly wants to be the next big thing and uses growing fast as an excuse for their failures. People dedicate their lives to their career and TE owes it to them to treat them with the professionalism and transparency they deserve, not just a sandbox to deliver numbers to the board. These are not mutually exclusive.

Buyer Beware!

Pros

Good benefits, overall good people. (Besides management)

Cons

Total Expert can no longer be classified as a start up- they use this as an excuse for many of their flaws such as very weak leadership. They continue to bring in new people for the executive team only to fire them a year later. This is like a revolving door. The CEO needs to look deeper and face the real problems and reasons as to why so many people are leaving the company. Managing by fear is not a strategy.
