Pluspunten

Lots of swag, company wide events, full week dedicated to celebrating employees, free resource library, 1/1s with management happen often, HR is helpful and very accommodating to employees that are going through personal issues.

Minpunten

1. Required to work out of a cloud providers office 3x a week. Company does not provide visitor badge or an escort. You have to tap into your own network to find people to badge you in. They did not mention this during interviewing process. 2. Increased travel by 50%. Expected to travel at least every other week. Travel can be last minute. 3. Company behaves like a startup but its not. CEO is heavily involved. Especially when sales doesnt meet their numbers as a whole on a monthly basis. Short fused. Lots of family dynamics. Very functional just odd. (Parents, siblings, friends of management work there). 4. Turnover is BAD. People get fired easily with or without cause. They dont offer severance. Since they offer unlimited PTO, they dont pay for unused vacation either when you leave. No communication from management as to how they will backfill positions. No plans. They just fire people and figure it out later. 5. Offerings and processes change constantly. By the time you learn how to sell something, the offering is gone. Internal processes as well. Not great communication on these changes internally. You find out on your own. 6. For sales specifically, they have an SDR team. During interviews they tell you SDRs will fill up schedules for you. Couldn't be farther from the truth. The established SDRs have AEs they like to work with. Management does try to make it even among all AEs but it doesnt really happen. You have to find your own leads and not rely on SDRs. 7. During my tenure there, we went from receiving help with filling out funding requests, selling an assessment and passing it on to SAs to having to submit your own funding and running the assessments on our own. 8. Every AE I met except for the consistent high performers fear to lose their jobs constantly. The anxiety is real. Every month theres chatter about whos getting fired or not. Thats not right.

I worked with some genuinely kind, talented teammates and made real friendships. Perks like InnoWeek and occasional swag can be fun.

Minpunten

- Misleading “remote” policy: They advertise remote flexibility, but employees are required to travel about every six weeks (twice per quarter) with zero exceptions or flexibility, even when personal or family conflicts arise. - Leadership conflicts and favoritism: The CEO and CPO are in a relationship, and she oversees “People and HR.” That dynamic gives her invisible power and influence, and when she doesn’t get her way, things quickly turn unprofessional. The President’s daughter was hired as an intern, further highlighting the nepotism that shapes decisions. It’s a company led by relationships, not merit. - Toxic internal culture: Everyone seems to date everyone, and leadership turns a blind eye, creating blurred lines, favoritism, and cliques. Professional boundaries are nearly nonexistent. - Unrealistic workload: Engineers are told to stay at 80% billable, but most run closer to 90%+ just to keep up. Burnout is common and TURNOVER IS CONSTANT! Departure emails are biweekly on average. - No real growth path: The engineering career path has been “in development” for who knows how long, but never actually finished. Advancement depends on who you know, not what you contribute. - Performative values: The company loudly promoted DEI when it was trendy, but dropped it completely when politics shifted, showing it was about compliance optics, not conviction. The culture now lacks diversity and mostly attracts single, non-family-oriented employees who can tolerate constant travel and high stress.
