      Retention of key staff an issue - Software Engineer iManage Employee Review

      Pros

      - Generous product roadmaps well into the next few years - Very generous employee benefits

      Cons

      - Since the introduction of engineering management, a lot of key staff (> 4 years' tenure) have left the company. - Culture of underworking is building, this is demotivating for hard-working staff. - With the introduction of hybrid working (and visitors from other remote locations outside NI), the location of the office is an increasing problem for socialising with our travelling colleagues (lunch, drinks, even travelling to the office in the morning)

      Pros

      Very flexible. It depends on the team but my team is pretty laid back. Unlimited PTO and sick time is great, and they try to do some fun events in the office too

      Cons

      Made us come back to the office

      Thank you for this, and for bringing that energy to your team. We are glad the flexibility and culture are working for you. On the office return, the hybrid model reflects our belief in the value of in-person time for collaboration and team cohesion. We appreciate you adapting to it.

      Pros

      - Solid opportunities to work with a modern tech stack, including lots of cloud-based tools and enterprise SaaS platforms. - Collaborative teams and mostly supportive coworkers make day-to-day work enjoyable. Most teams are not super large. Average size probably being around 20-30 members. - Good work-life balance. Consistent 8 hour days. Overtime projects were not common. My experience with the company culture was that it was reasonably chill and not overly stuffy.

      Cons

      - Career growth and advancement can depend heavily on team or manager. They did put a ton of work into creating a career advancement framework with supposedly clearly defined markers. But ZERO of the managers I had ever referenced, followed, or implemented actions from it. Even when I made it a point to bring it up during my employee reviews. - At the time of this review they have implemented mandatory return to office and physical presence required for all employees (within distance). - Occasional silos between departments can impact efficiency and communication. Specifically People Operations (that's what the call HR). Processes involving People Ops such as onboarding, policy clarification, or internal requests are often not clear or even followed. - They love to put the letters "iM" in front of all the internal programs and branding. EG. "iMAway" for PTO time or to mean you are on vacation. I don't know, it's kinda cute at times. But can also be cringe sometimes.

      Thank you for this thoughtful and detailed review. The feedback on iThrive is the most important thing here, and we hear it. Building a career progression framework only matters if managers are actually using it in practice. If that gap existed in your experience, that is a real problem, and it is something leadership needs to audit. On your People Ops comment, we are actively working to improve clarity and consistency in processes like onboarding and internal requests. Cross-functional communication, particularly between ops functions and the broader org, is an area we give great attention. We appreciate the time you put into this, and we wish you well in what comes next.
