This company is going downhill exponentially

Data engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits (PTO and 401K) if you joined before the acquisition by Veritas. Currently, good work-life balance is the only positive thing

Cons

The company claims to be a data and analytics firm, but the value of its data capabilities has been largely overlooked. Its technology is more than a decade behind the market. The new CEO appears eager to modernize the company's technology, yet a mass layoff of data and tech personnel occurred last month, driven by the new strategy that these roles can be outsourced/replaced in lower-cost regions. Skilled and talented people who deliver results often do not get promotions. Most major decisions are made by the UK side, with limited representation from the US. Training opportunities are limited, especially in tech. There is no significant effort or initiative to help tech employees learn and stay current.

Formerly great company, ruined by corporate buyout

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with and see day to day are nice, friendly, and great to work with. Work isn't demanding with unreasonable deadlines and people are reasonable to work with, so work/life balance is good. Very LGBT friendly.

Cons

Even just a few months ago, this would have been a VERY positive review. But after the Veritas buyout, the company has become increasingly a worse and worse place to work at each month. The company no longer cares about creating high quality long-term products and only seems to care about how to get something done as cheaply as possible as fast as possible. There is very little to no room for career growth as an engineer here anymore in most teams due to this as well. Even people overqualified for a promotion are made to jump through every hoop imaginable to get it. Even with high profits, they are also still willing to lay off employees so that they can hire cheaper outsourced labor, so job security is very weak as well - unless you're underpaid.
