Kinda not bad - Senior Software Engineer Nuvalence Employee Review

Great company to work for, good culture

I can't think of a con!

The best part about Nuvalence is the people. My colleagues are smart and thoughtful people who are great at building things together. It's hard to ask for more from my team. My boss is also a smart, thoughtful, transparent leader who is great at advocating for and advising me. Overall I feel well supported.

Unfortunately, the worst part is also the people. Managers and engagement leaders are given a lot of room to run engagements how they want to. Your experience on an engagement is really different depending on who is running it, and there are both good and bad engagement leaders. This can really suck when you're on a bad engagement because it is hard to change engagements when they're running. Compensation is on the higher end of a boutique shop but tops out at the upper scales unless you're going to the management/leader track. They're also need to chill about PTO. There have been confusing policy changes this year. Diversity is meh. There is a company OKR to improve diversity in technical staff but there's a lot of cishet white guys. Leadership is fine but needs to get way better at not running engagements themselves. It's micromanaging if they don't have engagement leaders do that work. For now all of these are fine but I think progress on these is going to be uneven.
