Pros

Cachematrix has provided me with ample opportunities for both professional and personal growth. I have always had open communication with senior management and like the direction that Cachematrix is heading. Work/life balance is great and the benefits are unlike any I have heard from friends at other companies. I appreciate being able to have an actual impact on outcomes that I may not otherwise have at a larger organization.

Cons

Sometimes the industry as a whole drives the products and possible innovation and the industry can be somewhat cautious and slow to adapt.

Pros

Despite erratic management on the dev team, somehow hiring (when I was there) was fantastic - the people you work with and collaborate with day-to-day are fantastic. I can't vouch for those left/newly hired - almost everyone I knew is gone within a 2 year period. The company does provide support for professional benefits, and you get quit a lot of time off throughout the year. If you've proven yourself, sometimes extended vacations with some remote work are approved.

Cons

High Turnover - especially for a small team! Most of those great folks I knew have left the company, so I can't vouch for those still there. Even some of the die-hard loyalists threw in the towel, driven away by too much work with too few resources. Management could be erratic - You were the Golden Child one day, a Red-Headed Stepchild the next for no cause. Internal processes are heavy and cumbersome - lots of processes to follow not because they add value, but because its already implemented, even if useless/counterproductive. Management continues to insist "We are Agile!"; an ironic claim at best - the actual process is an uncomfortable blend of CMMI and Agile, weighed down by legacy processes with little interest in actually implementing Best Practices. Complaints were filed, investigations opened multiple times against particular managers, yet despite the team coming out almost unanimously with a bevy of complaints and concerns (not to mention some scathing exit interviews), almost nothing was done (I believe some sort of short class). I have complaints on a personal note, but I don't feel they are necessarily relevant for others...

We appreciate this associate’s comments and praise for certain aspects of their employment during their tenure with us. We are very focused on retaining talent, but cannot predict outcomes especially when employees are sometimes called upon to sacrifice and give back during changes in our industry, client needs or growth. While change is sometimes difficult to experience, we have always tried to reward those employees who continue to deliver in such times. There are many different management styles and sometimes there may be perceived conflicts when employee and manager expectations or opinions differ. As noted, we have a system that allows for raising grievances in a safe environment so that employees can feel their opinions are heard and considered.
