Startup that has a big vision, and executing against its plan - Anonymous employee RootMetrics Employee Review

The team I worked for was great. There was mutual respect and encouragement, which helped keep moral high when work got very challenging.

At times, it required long hours in the office to get especially lengthy reports finished and out the door.

1. If you like coffee, there are plenty of choices. 2. Management is generally laid-back.

1. Combining vacation and sick days into one PTO bucket means people are constantly coming to work sick. You'll catch whatever goes around, guaranteed. 2. Turnover seems pretty high in the software groups. 3. In the software groups you'll hear a lot of Agile methodology buzzwords, but it's really just disorganized waterfall-ish. "Sprints" can span months, for example. 4. Management may be laid-back, but also pretty standoffish by hiding in offices and rarely interacting with the people that report to them, let alone people on teams they don't manage. For example, after well over a year my skip level manager has never spoken to me about anything work-related, not even a "how's it going on your team?" 5. Unusually noisy open office environment. If you need to actually think about what you're doing, good luck. 6. Yeah, we have a parking problem, but putting together a telecommuting policy is too much trouble.
