Run fast and far - Manager SignUpGenius Employee Review

Very positive team with no negativity and plenty of patience. Lots of support from coworkers any time you ask. Minimal micromanagement, lots of freedom and independence. The CEO has a vision and middle management is doing its best to execute. Lots of transparency with finances and goals. Lots of room to move around the organizational structure. Not a lot of staff turnover, people stay here for years for a reason. Management is definitely interested in modern technology. Annual bonuses are based on organization performance.

Senior management will often have conflicting direction as they try to execute on the CEO's direction. Not a lot of room for salary growth. The tech stack is outdated like a big ship, it can take a while to change direction. The old stack can make it difficult tough to onboard. The 1-2 senior devs often have their plates full making it tough for them to knowledge-share despite their willingness and interest.

I've enjoyed working in my role as a Team Lead and Senior Developer at SignupGenius for the past four years. The company puts as much value in its employees as they do their customers. They promote a healthy work-life balance for all staff and offer lots of opportunities for growth and recognition. While in recent years the company has transitioned to primarily remote working, we have maintained our fun, community culture, even during the pandemic. There are always special events and activities to participate in throughout each year. The company also promotes and supports outside philanthropic activities and community involvement. They incentivize staff to donate to charities and participate in local community events. SignUpGenius is also very serious about providing internal and external training opportunities for their staff and strive to growth their staff in their career goals. The teams all work well together, and often operate like small family units. Co-workers will work together to brainstorm on new projects and product features, and work together to meet deadlines as they arise. Overall, I have been very happy with my employment at SignUpGenius and look forward to a long career with the company.

The company has a wide technology stack that isn't always up to date. This can sometimes be frustrating, especially to newcomers. However, the company is aware of this and has long term plans in place to simply and modernize technology across the board. Overall, this is a very minor concern.
