Pros

New office downtown. Subsidized parking and free RTD pass. A couple VPs who truly care about their people.

Cons

“Leaders” in middle management have absolutely no qualifications for their positions except they’ve been with the company the longest. Hired from within with no true professional experience beyond talentReef (if you know the CEO, you’ll get promoted). Use tactics like “public shaming” to manage their teams. Higher leadership either doesn’t coach poor behavior or isn’t aware of it (both bad). If you’re not a part of the clique, your ideas are not heard. Teams don’t provide honest feedback, but they’re happy to gossip and complain. Trying to improve their product, but C-level leadership makes disjointed decisions. Roadmap changes on the whim of certain execs and priority clients, so some items stay untouched for a looong time. Leads to unhappy customers who are made empty promises. Benefits are okay - no 401k match, poor insurance, non-negotiable PTO. Many employees shared stories of being promised bonuses that never came, or came late, or an amount lower than promised. Even being guilted about asking for bonuses or raises.

Thank you for submitting a review. We’re sorry you didn’t have a great experience at talentReef. We do have truly wonderful team members that make talentReef great. We recognize needing to improve training and development, including training for those starting out in the professional workforce and are actively working on these processes. We’re hiring from diverse and experienced backgrounds to make the company stronger, including recent outside hires for executives in Product and Engineering, as well as a new CEO with over 25 years of experience in the SaaS industry as well as several additions expanding our Technology and Product teams. The benefits package has been reviewed and is benchmarked above average. Employees have health and dental coverage the first day of the month after their date of hire. The 401K plan has been updated so employees can participate the first day of the month following an employee’s date of hire. We value feedback from current and former employees and appreciate you taking time to submit your thoughts.

Pros

-The office is centrally located -Snacks are provided -Lenient dress code

Cons

Where do i even begin. Although talentreef gave me some opportunities to grow, it also gave me lots of stressful days. Upper management over promises but under delivers. Your bonuses are always dangled over your head and most of the time they dont pay them out. There is no vision of the product. Tons of changes within the c-level organization which raises a lot of red flags

Pros

You actually have technical leadership who knows how to develop Software. Good Technical Stack excluding legacy application (cold fusion and emberjs) Nice office environment to work in downtown. Good work life balance

Cons

Technology organization is a mess because of the lack of buy-in from the business, the Software Development Process is non-existent due to this. They love to come up with meaningless titles. The company doesn't payout bonus or live up to salary promises. If you like to get recognized for patching up a sinking ship then this is the place for you, pats on the back. Poor benefits
