. - Senior Software Engineer ValueMomentum Employee Review

Laid Back Environment, Neat projects

There was poor communication between teams

1. Large network of big and small insurance clients and firms. 2. They are a specialized group of insurance experts, so you will get good exposure to a very profitable market. 3. All the leaders and CSDs I worked with wanted me to succeed, and gave me good career advice. They rounded my career and portfolio well. 4. When the market was good and stable for software services, they kept a lot engineers without a project on bench for long times and paid them full salary and benefits. It was a work hard, play hard type culture which was a big reason why I wanted to be here for the long term.

1. Communication of internal changes! This company will make quick decisions behind your back and not notify you until last minute putting you in very awkward and suddenly stressful situations out of nowhere. 2. Very small severance package. Most companies give their long standing and well performing employees higher severance, but my friend’s startup gave him the same amount of severance I had received and he worked there for only 6 months. 3. ValueMomentum values their clients and their directors who provide them with business, NOT their employees who actually do the work. 9 years of service and zero bonus. Low salary too. I never felt valued at this company and this company made me feel like a pawn on a chess board. Just discardable. 4. No company wide events, no socials, no company merch or things company does to make employees feel valued, just on time salary. 5. Their PTO system is very off. Every year, I had to do the job for them of tracking my PTO as they would lose a few submitted timesheets. It was slowly getting better though with their new viki systems. 6. The windows company laptop they give you is cheap. I’ve had one client ask me if it was a personal laptop. 7. Yearly salary increases are only 2-4%. They don’t factor inflation.
