Pros

Many of the people here are incredibly kind and deserve better.

Cons

After reading the reviews and salary data on Glassdoor, I am absolutely confident that the CEO wrote multiple of these himself. Retensa is a small company and I know from my peers what we make. It's MUCH lower than what many employees have theoretically reported here. And the CEO is so dishonest and untrustworthy, I wouldn't put it past him to make multiple email accounts just to report false info. There's something really strange happening with the CEO regarding the money. He claims to not follow up with clients on payment, but doesn't seem concerned about it. Then almost every single time our paychecks are due, he has a new and creative excuse for why he can't pay. Then he always promises to pay next time. He's very manipulative too, saying things like "you should be appreciative that I'm even being honest and sharing this with you."

Pros

The software developers here are highly talented and experienced, and I learned a great deal from working alongside them. While some of the technology stack is a bit outdated, management is actively investing in modernization and genuinely encourages team members who want to drive those changes. I personally had a great experience working at this company. I was encouraged to take ownership and lead initiatives to improve and transform technical processes within the application. The company also invested in my growth by sponsoring fully paid trips to tech conferences in places like Las Vegas and Washington, DC, where I had the opportunity to connect with and learn from experienced developers across the industry. The projects I worked on here played a significant role in opening up new career opportunities for me, and I’m very grateful for that exposure and experience.

Cons

The tech team would benefit from hiring additional engineers and continuing to invest more aggressively in adopting newer technologies and modern development methodologies to support the application’s growth.
