Longtime worker first time poster - Engineer Critical Watch Employee Review

Company really cares about your well-being. Company understands that happy employees are productive employees. Potential is recognized fast and after the acquisition by Alert Logic there are wroldwide growth opportunities. Decisions are made fast and you get to influence the company direction from day one

Growing pains from high growth. In Transition from being a small startup to being a large company. Transition from Waterfall development method to Agile/Lean/Devops is harder than anyone imagined, but we are making progress.

Flexible hours, some select employees are able to work from home a couple of days a week, others can work remotely out of state only showing up in Dallas for a week now and again, if you get your job done and done on time then your work to life balance is pretty good. Benefits are decent.

Major recent layoffs and employee departures from the top all the way down through the organization. Leadership is weakened and focused on things that adversely affect the organization's culture and mission. The "build it and they will come" mentality has contributed greatly to the decline of sales and decreased new business over the past 3-4 years. There is a level of stagnation in the work environment to just keep busy working on products that were built before there was a market for them. Titles mean nothing because the culture and standard nowadays is to just do as you're told. No matter how great of an idea or what historically-proven track record of success you bring with your skill set and expertise with the company's best interest at hear, you'll likely be overruled and told to do something else that at times can be irrational and illogical. The integration of Agile was once thriving, but now it's rather mundane and methodical with a "fly by the seat of your pants" and ill-informed direction from leadership.
