Senior Management is Absent - Senior Software Engineer Century Distribution Systems Employee Review

Work life balance and flexibility; one day a week in the office. Management is fair and allows employees to work independently as long as they remain professional. Good benefits with generous time off available.

Lacks some communication efforts between upper management and employees but resolvable if management makes a concerted effort to have regular office wide meetings.

- Smart, hardworking teammates who genuinely care about doing good work - Opportunity to learn how private-equity ownership operates (for better or worse) - Fast pace can build resilience and adaptability

- Chronic overwork due to understaffing, with compensation not keeping pace - 5+ layoffs in the past few years created constant job insecurity/fear and low morale - Limited career growth or advancement opportunities despite repeated promises - Leadership relies heavily on “put your head down and work hard” messaging without meaningful change - Long-term strategy feels unclear and reactive rather than planned - Burnout is common, and work–life balance continues to erode over time - Private equity ownership prioritizes cost cutting over employee investment - 3 days (department heads choose which days) in the office and moving towards 4 days - Long hours
