Pros

Have been with the company nearly five years. Many growing pains, but things are going well. Really appreciate the great benefits package (and total compensation) that keep me on the job. Enjoy what I am doing on a daily basis and the great co-workers. There have been great strides made in employee/manger interaction that make a remote employee feel more in-touch with the main company.

Cons

Still some issues balancing "unlimited" PTO (now called "flexible", but still not tracked or accrued) against "billable" client time. I understand the need, but it does make us feel like we can't schedule a vacation without building up extra client time first.

Thank you for your review and feedback, I really appreciate it. And thank you for highlighting the ongoing tension between financial sustainability and work/life balance. In our most recent earnings call, I highlighted that from my perspective, our professional services utilization was higher than what we'd like it to be, in order to make the pro services roles more long-term sustainable. We are working to add a little more of a bench and a little more flex time so that a better work-life balance will be doable. I appreciate the work that you do each day to help our clients succeed, and want you and each of our colleagues to be in a position to take time off in order to recharge and renew. We'll keep working on this. Thank you again for your five years of contributions to our mission! Best, Dan

There’s real momentum building right now, and the work ahead is meaningful. I’m grateful for you and the role you play here, and I’m excited about what we’re building together.

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
