Pros

Leadership team is A+.I have been with the company a little over 2 years and have always felt their focus is on their employees. The company offers excellent benefits, opportunities to grow in both management and individual contributor roles, and has a great mission. I have enjoyed the variety of projects and mix of client work since joining the company with the ASO organization. The culture of the company is also excellent. I have yet to meet another employee that I would consider lazy or a slacker. The companies focus on hiring the right candidates has proven valuable. My manager looks out for my best interest, whether those interest collide with their best interest. Plenty of opportunities outside of your own organization. The company values internal candidates and career exploration. Company appreciates constructive feedback and works to fix valid concerns. As an example, I voiced that the new hire training process didn't feel comprehensive enough to feel that a new hire would be successful working with clients. The ASO had done a great job ramping up on new hire training and I think it is now very effective!

Cons

Some work can be less challenging, but this is the case in any position. Unfortunately, not all employees will/can be selected to work on the most challenging/rewarding projects. Not all employee skills get utilized to the best of their ability, eventually leading to loss of knowledge. This is a tough problem to solve! As a remote employee it is often tough to meet and interact with employees

Thank you for your review and feedback, I'm grateful to hear that your first two years have been positive! I also appreciate your feedback and advice about areas where we can improve -- including your feedback that you've seen improvement in our training in ASO! I agree that we can keep getting better in providing diverse and challenging work for our team members, and in networking with other team members. COVID has made this particularly challenging, but I believe that in 2021 we'll have some significant opportunities for improvement here. Thank you again for all your contributions to the company these past two years! Best, Dan

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
