Egress Software Technologies Reviews

The company engages in predatory practices hiring out of Sheffield Uni and running people down until they burn out. The salaries are way below average and the pay raises are in the 2-3% range every year. Past 6 months the new leadership which came from Mimecast got over 40 people sacked in all areas of engineering. The remaining people are expected to deliver what the previous team could not. The company product has little future as it is competing with Microsoft offerings. Everyday drama, favoritism, yelling and toxicity are encouraged by leadership and are a norm. Only work here if you are starving and have no shelter.

-As a company that apparently values diversity, the senior management team does not reflect this. It is primarily made up of white males. -Great marketing makes our products sound far more cutting edge than they are. -Little collaboration across teams when employees should remember that they are all working for the same company rather then this dog eat dog mentality -Salaries are well below average, especially when management expects you to the hard yards. -We tend to keep deadwood rather than setting them adrift. If they aren’t performing or can’t do the job at some point, get the balls to let them go. -Rather than spending the money to hire experienced candidates, their motto is quantity is better than quality. As a growing company, we need to hire seasoned employees that know what good looks like. -Glossy glassdoor reviews placed by HR -At times, it can feel like you are back at school. I never worked somewhere with so many cliques. - Little confidence in HR. I would never go to them with a personal matter. -For such a small company, we have a large number of Directors. It seems like this is a tactic to get people to stay.
