Programmer - Anonymous employee TechEmpower Employee Review

TechEmpower really values good engineers and makes it a great place to work if you value working with other good engineers.

If you are not a good engineer, there's no place to hide.

Software developers work across a variety of technologies to produce ideal solutions across several companies. I learned new languages and emerging frameworks, and directly implemented that knowledge in production code. Coworkers were extremely helpful and friendly. Work-life balance was prioritized by leadership such that no unrealistic expectations were impressed upon the teams.

The salary and benefits offered were subpar compared to industry standards. The leadership team was opaque about ongoing trends in the business and did not project confidence unto the company writ large. The company was forced to lay off ~15% of their workforce during COVID as soon as the PPP loan ran out, despite maintaining that there would not be lay offs.
