Great product, leadership mistakes - Anonymous employee Cognite Employee Review

The product is great, the passion is real, and the culture is positive and supportive.

None that I can think of

Ha! That's a good one.

Can you say "total eclipse"? That most accurately describes the amount of pure darkness (i.e. lack of transparency, accountability, honesty, decency and scruples) within this company. If you want to move your whole life across the country to work in a desert utterly devoid of values and professionalism, an organization that gives you their word and then breaks it at the drop of a hat without the slightest hint of remorse, then Cognite is your huckleberry. This is a place that apparently has no issues with partnering with certain third-parties like background check vendors that violate the privacy and undermine the integrity of their employees, because Cognite's management does exactly the same thing. Some companies enjoy treating their in-house people like chopped liver; Cognite would rather not wait that long. Communication is non-existent and 100% dishonest at the same time. Bad faith business is the order of the day. There's an old saying which says something to the effect that "when you are halfway done with a deal, you still have 99% to close". If you are misfortunate enough to receive and accept any offer of employment from Cognite, take heed: you're not even 0.000001% closer to working one second there. A rotting fish stinks from the head down. One star review = NO STAR REVIEW.
