Pros

Work with extremely smart and competent people that always get the work done. There are a lot of people 'from industry' that have an incredible amount of valuable knowledge and experience. Customers LOVE the product. The technology really is awesome at what it does. If you're the type of person that likes working from home, then this is a great place for you. Open PTO policy that people actually use (not uncommon for people to take 2-3 week vacations). Truly a 'get your work done' mentality. As long as you are doing your job, no one cares when or how. Need to run errands, pick your kids up from school, or go for a bike ride/hike at noon? Sounds good. Just get your work done. Pays for remote work expenses including 175 / month for phone/internet, initial 5k workplace expenses for computer, tablets, motitors, phones, desks, etc. (unclear if this is going away with recent company shift). Was skeptical about Qube at first, but being able to check in with people, and have the virtual office atmosphere really is cool. Stock options. Very transparent leadership, for better or worse.

Cons

Headed into most difficult time as a company. Company is going through the same thing many start-ups are. 'Grow at all costs' is becoming 'must become profitable asap'. Recent economic headwinds combined with recent difficulties to bring in new business have led to the largest lay-off to date for Seeq, reduction in some benefits, and general uncertainty headed forward. Typical start-up headaches. Lack of processes in some situations. Many ways to go about doing things. Onboarding/support isn't well developed for all roles, sometimes unclear what to do, who to go to, whose responsibility something is. Coworkers are generally willing to help though. Not a very strong sense of 'team'. I've worked places where my coworkers felt like a strong, tight-knit family. Seeq is not one of them. In general, there is a fair amount of everyone doing their own thing. I don't think there is a lot of pride in being a Seeq-er, and generally, the culture is not the strongest. That being said, the culture is not toxic or negative in my experience. There's just a lack of belonging and camaraderie. The general vibe of Seeq is a bit serious and at times, lonely.

Seeq was founded in 2013 as a remote-first workplace. Over the last 9 years we feel we have shown that a remote company can be as culturally strong as an in-person company, even being named to Inc. Magazine's list of best workplaces for 2022. We know that what worked for Seeq as a 20 person company will not work for Seeq as a 200 or 2000 person company and have worked hard to adapt our traditions while keeping true to our principles. It truly saddens us that you did not feel the strong sense of team that so many Seeqers feel. Seeq's employees and leadership are proud of what we've built, and as a member of our community we will take your comments and incorporate them as we nurture our growing community of employees and customers.

Pros

One of the few software companies genuinely transforming industrial operations rather than just talking about digital transformation. Strong product, great company culture and a place where capable people can really impact in a tangible way. You work alongside highly capable colleagues who are genuinely nice, collaborative, pragmatic, and focused on solving real customer problems. Strong leadership, the company is well managed and is performing exceptionally well.

Cons

Fast growing company, with the natural growing pains of an organization that is not small anymore, but not yet very big. Need to be able to wear multiple hats and take ownership of situations, not necessarily for everybody.

Pros

Because we are a remote-first company, we can attract top talent from anywhere in the world. That means I get to work with exceptional teammates, and keep my dogs as my daily “coworkers” as well. We are growing rapidly, so there is no shortage of meaningful, high-impact work. Every team member contributes directly to the core mission, and we continue to invest in building new, future-focused products.

Cons

One con of working at Seeq is that we don’t often get to have casual coffee or lunch breaks together, so we can miss out on some of the day-to-day, in-person relationship building. However, with the collaborative tools we use daily to stay connected, plus intentional time spent together in person, I actually feel more connected to my coworkers than ever.
