Pros

I’ve been here a while, originally Ctuit, pre merger, now two years into the merger, and wanted to offer my thoughts. I won’t lie, it has been tough at times, which led to some folks not being able to stick around. Significant changes have been made, and more are being made, all for the better. I see the end goal, of being the best company that focuses on what we do best, while maintaining our fun culture. Through all the challenges, I am still here because of that culture, because of the amazing people I get to work with, because leadership supports me and my decisions, because top leadership asked for our feedback and are truly acting upon that feedback, because I learn something new every day, but most importantly because of the work-life balance. We have an opportunity to make a difference for our customers, for ourselves, and for each other, and are empowered to do so.

Cons

Workload is difficult to manage at times, some processes still not aligned since the merger, some departments focused on their own agendas and not how their actions impact other departments

Really appreciate your feedback and it's motivating to see that we can turn around the experience and impression of an employee who was part of a difficult acquisition process. Thanks for sticking with us and for playing your part in making things better through candid feedback. And you're absolutely right about our leaders needing to be open to feedback - it's an expectation for all. Thanks again for being part of the solution and a great agent for change!

Pros

Day to day isn’t too “corporate”. Most coworkers on the floor are friendly and knowledgeable.

Cons

Leadership who were active in the trenches have jumped ship. Replaced by a rainbow of C-Level flavors and overstretched “product leads” who fiddle endlessly with roadmaps and ticket assignments. Execs pop down to Earth (via video) now and then for some “so proud” shtick, but fail to demonstrate basic engagement with problems in development. Releases and simple fixes alike pushed back for months; hundreds of man hours put into unreleased and unnecessary products; basic lack of quality filtering in management hires; etc., etc. “Merged” with Ctuit offices but keep no plan for communicating between them, much less adopting what worked in them. Deliverables managed by Ctuit in a few hours across two timezones take a week or longer between Houston and Austin. Totally different standards of "complete" and "customer ready". New third-party communication tools bought on every quarter with pretty swim lanes hailed as the solution to all problems, meanwhile no one enforces plain adherence to abiding by set deadlines. Ctuit’s relaxed comradery all the way up the chain replaced by sycophantic “haters gonna hate, we love our dogs and coffee!!!!!!” type culture while cliques, gossip, and disgruntled staff bubble under the surface; and HR voices concern about Glassdoor a month before a slew of mysterious 5 star reviews appear.

It's always tough getting feedback from a former employee who didn't feel positive about their experience with us. What we can confirm for certain is that we definitely don't make anyone post reviews. It's up to our employees and we simply ask all to speak openly and honestly. The team continues to strive for creating an environment where everyone feels they can innovate, speak up and be their best....veteran talent and new hires alike. Wishing you well and thanks for the feedback.
