lame people and no room to advance - Software Engineer Intelius Employee Review

Intelius has some of the most talented people working. I would have to say that the group of people is the best reason to work for Intelius (not to mention the comprehensive medical benefits). Employees including Senior management are always there to help and teach when needed. It's an awesome place to grow as a person and your career.

It's not really a downside but work pace is very dynamic and have to move very fast on projects and work items. It may be downside for some people used to working at big companies that takes months to roll out products and services.

Overall the company is filled with hard working individuals who are great at their jobs. However, the executive team and upper management are disorganized and only concerned about the bottom line. The company has the potential to make great products but they are more concerned with tricking their customer base and making sub-par products as quickly as possible.

The executive and management team want to create products that do not work, are designed with technologies and UIs from the 90s and want it all done "yesterday." Working throughout the company-it was all disorganized and ran by individuals with little expertise and knowledge. Directors may have been working for 5 years and lead whole product and business groups...how does that work? There is rarely any room the advance, and if you do the only thing that changes is your title and you work longer hours. Expect to take a $10,000 pay cut and bonuses average to 1-2% and are not given on what you provided to the company but more on favoritism. So if you are not in the "boys" club there is no room for advancement.
