Pros

Laid back dress code, some cool people and snacks (as if these are actually pros of a company) Ground breaking tech? Pro? it would be if it was.

Cons

I read the previous reviews about other experiences, and I have to say that they're 100% correct. If you want a REAL analyst position, I would suggest going somewhere else. This is social media curation, not true data analytics. Little to no guidance for new hires with unrealistic expectations. No need to beat a dead horse, read the other "negative" reviews and you'll understand why. Also, it seems as if there some meddling going on in some of these reviews… “like getting an MBA”. If you think working here is even closely considered to that, you must have sub-par intelligence. The CEO sounds Petty and desperate writing a article about the reviews of the company. Remember, actions speak louder than an article posted online. You'll see real change when the reviews on Glassdoor reflect the criticism stated.

Turbine Labs Response

My name is Leigh Fatzinger, founder and CEO of Turbine Labs. I appreciate your feedback and giving us the opportunity to address your comments. As always, anyone considering a role at Turbine Labs can contact me directly at Leigh(at)turbinelabs(dot)com or call me at 720-414-5523 to discuss. Prospective employees should know that we will never view being open, candid, and honest as a sign of being petty or desperate. I have no issues addressing your feedback directly, in the open. Turbine Labs was started five years ago, by me, with no outside investment. In the last 12 months, our company has doubled in size, both in revenues and in headcount (to nearly 30 people) for two reasons: the dedication of our people and our commitment to our customers. Make no mistake - Turbine Labs is a startup. Startups are environments of change. And startup environments are not always a good fit for people who are not used to that dynamic. For a few individuals who left our company between 7-12 months ago, parting ways was best for everyone involved, and we hope they were able to find career opportunities that better suited them. One year ago, our company was half the size, and our resources were half as well. Austerity and good business practices enabled us to double in size, which enabled everyone who shared the vision to share the rewards, some of which are new this year: *For our size, Turbine Labs pays at or above market rate in every function (analytics, sales, engineering, and administration), commensurate with experience. *Turbine Labs offers generous stock options grants to every employee - including part time employees and interns. *Turbine Labs offers unlimited PTO, as well as flexible work schedules. *Turbine Labs pays 100% of medical health care premiums for every full-time employee. *Turbine Labs issues every senior analytics professional a Mac laptop as well as a 27” external monitor, so they can work in a collaborative environment, in our lounge area, or remotely, if needed. *Our software is patent-pending, and our on-site software development team includes world-class engineering talent and leadership previously employed at IBM Watson, Trimble, and other leading engineering organizations. *Platform development occurs hand-in-hand between our engineering and analytics teams. *Turbine Labs has had zero employee turnover since January, 2019. The people that join our company today quickly and clearly see and experience an environment and opportunity that starkly contradicts your review, which is not to say your feedback is not valuable. Your contribution helped us get to where we are. At the same time, we are not close to being finished when it comes to growing, changing, improving, and learning. Which is why we ask each prospective employee to read all our reviews, so they can make their own judgement. Again, thank you for the opportunity to allow us to be candid and open about your experience.
