      Pros

      The company believes in their mission and the values that drive how we work and try hard to apply those principles. There are generally great people to work with and it continues to provide an opportunity to learn and grow. Though behind, the company is working hard to address compensation gaps in this market. The company is willing to make significant decisions to address gaps in competitiveness.

      Cons

      Decision-making is very centralized at senior levels even though those "involved" at a leadership level is a very large group. Struggling to keep up with compensation in a very competitive, dynamic market. The market requires an enterprise approach to the products offered, but the company is struggling to fund, build and staff those required initiatives and that impacts the work/life balance and job satisfaction of some teams and product groups. M&A activity complicates growth because of how distributed certain functions are (product, support, engineering, infrastructure) and the immaturity in our strategy for approaching integration makes that activity very impactful on other business areas.

      Thank you for your review and feedback, both positives and negatives. I'm grateful to hear of the positives in your experience, working with dedicated, talented teammates, and that our efforts to become stronger and more competitive regarding compensation and regarding our product strength are resonating with you. And I recognize we need to do more. We have felt somewhat hamstrung from an R&D investment perspective, beginning in the spring of 2020 with the onset of COVID, where our slowed growth impacted our ability to invest at the same level in R&D while also maintaining the path to profitability. Today in our all team member meeting we'll discuss our proposed 2022 operating plan, which includes meaningful investment in team member compensation, as well as in R&D at much higher levels than in 2020 or in 2021, to enable us to strengthen our competitive capabilities and differentiation at the platform, the data and the app layer. I'm really excited about our ambitious priorities for 2022, and believe it will dramatically contribute to our continued ability to be the best in the world in the areas we choose to offer solutions. More to come and I look forward to making this progress alongside you in 2022! 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.
