Pros

Meridianlink has a 3+ year plan that could position them to do big things. As an engineer, the future product vision is what keeps me excited about coming to work every day. I'm working with great people and while the work is challenging I love it. Our new CEO is very engaged and focussed on making Meridianlink better for all of us. Leadership is doing a great job during COVID and I have a lot of confidence in their decisions. My impression is that leadership listens and that our ideas get to steer the company.

Cons

Meridianlink is a growing business and there will always be broken processes and lack of standard procedures when a company is expanding. There's also a few long time employees that love how things were as a smaller company but those days are over. Luckily there is a strong team working to make things better every day and their effort shows.

Pros

High-paced organization on path to growth. Remote work is awesome but also plenty of opportunities to see co-workers in person. New leadership with eye to service and innovation. Company has been around for over 20 years but still operates like a start up so plenty of chances to have influence.

Cons

Competing priorities, sometimes budget is hard to come by. Slow planning process.

Pros

-Remote-first, WFH stipend, decent PTO, Great Place to Work Certified. -Not too woke for a CA company. -Recently went private which hopefully will be a good thing. -Good work-life balance, I never work more than 40/week. -If you like AI-assisted development, Github Copilot (for everyone) and Claude Code (for seniors) are provided. -They haven't had layoffs since 2024.

Cons

-Revolving door of upper leadership. Brand new CTO; who knows what he'll do? -Many dev teams are majority cheap offshore contractors. Minimal feeling of being on a team; I don't know most of my coworkers. No teambuilding activities. -Reliance on poor metrics like code coverage and velocity. Managing by metrics and dashboards. -Minimal salary raises. -CEO sends out motivational "rah rah" emails every Friday. -Disconnect between what developers are experiencing and what upper management thinks is going on. -Company is going "all in" on AI, and have unrealistic expectations of what AI can accomplish. Like they think they can get A-level work out of C-level developers through AI usage. AI fatigue is real. -Not all managers are emotionally intelligent or even technically adept.
