Smart and caring company - Software Engineer Enplug Employee Review

Pros

People work together to solve the problems. Everybody is friendly and has a positive attitude towards helping others. Management cares about their employees. Lunch is catered once in a while, and everybody sits around the big table to talk about their life outside of work. We even went on an all-expenses paid company retreat last year. This and many other small things that the company does makes me want to go to work. I also feel like I am learning a lot about other disciplines, seeing my co-workers in marketing and sales work.

Cons

The office A/C resets at periodic intervals (not our fault apparently, it's set by the building management company).

Pros

- Ability to work in a fast-paced, high growth environment - True ownership of projects and tasks, not just a small piece of a larger pie - Flexible hours with expectation that projects/goals need to be on time - Collaborative culture with extremely talented individuals - The experience and exposure to groups within Enplug accelerates your career significantly.

Cons

- Transparency is one of the core values, but poor job is done in being transparent between departments. The actual pulse of the company is kept hidden from employees including items like current funding levels, burn rates, amount of cash in the bank and most of the cap table & liquidation preferences. Often times decisions are made by a select few at the top of the organization without any input from other team members. - Similar to transparency, the organization is projected as being extremely flat but has an internal hierarchy that can cause issues. - The compensation is significantly below that of other startups and the benefits are the lowest of any company I've seen, even if your position is commission + base salary. - Work & Life balance is non-existent, even discouraged at times, through the use of words like cult and unrealistic expectations that are changing month to month. - Compensation is touted as consistent among employees but compensation packages among employees can be 25-35% more or less with no recognition or basis on length of time or skill set that is brought to the company.

Hello, I'd love some time to sit down and discuss where you believe we can improve on transparency, benefits, and more. Please feel free to stop in any time. While we openly share details on Enplug's finances and are consistently adding to our benefits package (full dental/health/vision, 1-3 weeks PTO, sick days and other options to take the time off that you need), it's your input that lets us know what needs to be done next. We're committed to constantly improving, and your open feedback makes that possible. You know where to find me, any time :) -Brenna
