Covius Reviews

This Colorado company is owned by private equity in New York. Since takeover, the company was divided into several divisions and the most (least?) profitable division was just sold to another firm. This transaction amounted to a staggering amount of layoffs, creating a general malaise around the office. There seems to be no stability and the remaining staff works in fear. Dozens of other positions were outsourced to a firm in Asia a few years ago and no new business has come in to replace the loss for these American jobs.

I don’t mean soulless as “evil” but more that Covius no longer has an identity. As of early 2020, what may prove to be a good eventual strategy of selling off and buying up units around the country had at that time only created a splintered and scattered set of small offices with no overarching identity. Many reviews speak of exciting growth. But I didn’t see how it translated to much opportunity for the rank and file. I saw more lay-offs and leaving than growth and would estimate 2/3 of the people I knew were ambivalent or worse in their view of their job. Software development appears to be slowly redirecting from Denver. Between January 2019 and March 2020, of roughly 15 positions in Denver, they laid off three of their most senior employees, demoted a fourth and watched a fifth leave without replacing them.
