Modern Hire Reviews

-Riverside/Executive team turned a blind eye to dishonest and immoral behavior of certain leader(s) and refuse to acknowledge that it destroyed company culture of the Delafield office and has cause massive turnover in 2020 and 2021. Those events caused the leaving of the previous CEO and HR leader and later many other employees out of frustration. -Company has been falling apart for 1.5 years. Watching Riverside (private equity firm) decide that their bottom line cost is more important than a great product or building it the right way. Forcing their "formula" on a company they acquire instead of letting that company continue doing what they are best at doing. -Software quality has dropped off significantly once executive team/Riverside decided to push for offshore development to a company also owned by Riverside and tried having onshore development babysitting them. They keep trying to put lipstick on the pig instead of fixing the pig. -The last straw for a lot of people in Engineering was meeting all of our goals for the year but the executive team deciding we didn't deserve a raise or promotions but the following month we received congratulatory emails from other departments where people got promotions and raises.

There has been huge mass of people leaving in the last few months and some not being replaced and clients are feeling the downstream impact. ELT isn't aware of what is happening within the company. CEO wants us to "move faster" but we can't keep up with the work that we have today. PTO policy is garbage and company claims it's above industry standard, even though most software companies give out unlimited PTO. Company claims that because of their work/lift balance, they don't need to increase PTO. It's hard to have work/life balance when you're working all the time. Modern Hire used to be Montage and Shaker - and it's clear that ELT only cares about the Shaker product, even though a large part of revenue comes from the Montage product. Lastly, there has been so many cases come up where the perception is that the company isn't a great place for women to work. This probably stems from an incident in 2020 where someone in ELT was chosen over the word of a woman. This caused the CEO to leave and many people followed suit.
