      Many intelligent and interesting people, but the success of employees greatly depends on their manager personality. - Anonymous employee NTENT Employee Review

      Pros

      The Carlsbad office does have an atmosphere of an R&D department. There are several people who are passionate about their work and have many great ideas.

      Cons

      Despite the small size of the company, the leadership tends to cultivate hierarchical relationship and makes sure first of all that managers are happy rather than employees. It means that if there is any disagreement between an employee and a manager, the senior would take a manager side just because they feel it's more important. It makes the situation of an employee in the company greatly dependent on his or her manager personality. If a person is not lucky enough he's under the great risk of being not-appreciated, treated unfairly and micromanaged without any chance to get other attitude from a higher management. A few months ago, the company tried to implement the agile methodology and it did improve the situation because people had a chance to participate in planning, choose their task and change teams. But now it's almost gone, and probably one of the reasons was that some managers didn't like losing control over their employees. Now, stand-ups for certain teams became sit-downs, and a good part of a meeting might be spent on chatting about matters not related to the job, and for another good part a manager would enjoy herself giving a talk. This atmosphere makes even initiative and creative people indifferent and aloof from the results of their job and the quality of the product very questionable.

      Pros

      * Incredibly talented people * Leading edge technologies and ways of working * Heavy focus on advanced AI throughout the system that WORKS * Excellent balance of innovation and R&D that actually makes it into meaningful production systems! The company is solving large, challenging and fun problems that benefit end users. * Multi-million dollar 2021 investment in latest hardware in both development and production. * This is a company that is not afraid to shed legacy baggage and debt. 2020 was certainly a bit tougher in this regard, NTENT came out into 2021 very strong, well funded and was able to offload a massive amount of legacy debt, replacing it with modern AI systems and the right mindset. * Agile and results focused ways of working - people's work gets to production! Some of the technical debt that was let go was some teams who appeared to be operating a "social club" type environment without a focus on completing meaningful work into production or an over focus on academic research that didn't make it into production or didn't work as needed/expected. * Good benefits. 401K matching is great. Good health care, generous PTO and 13 paid holidays a year. Very nice life balance.

      Cons

      Teams are a little small currently, but this is really excitement in growing out world class talent to solve game changing problems. A great problem to have!
