Pros

Conductor fosters an environment of developing ideas that move the business forward, and then equips employees with the tools necessary (resources, guidance, buy-in, etc.) to turn those ideas into a reality. I found myself working with too many customers, and needed to develop a team of folks to help manage the volume. After putting together a business case with my directors, I now have a team of individuals turning this challenge into positive change for the company.

Cons

Currently have offices under construction (July 2018) that requires moving around between different offices which is challenging

Pros

Energetic, fun, supportive, team-environment. Conductor invest in its people with solid training, industry and company insights, and an overall amazing team that works in concert providing an awesome customer experience.

Cons

There are none- if worked with a ton of teams in my career, and this beats them all by a long shot.

Pros

Conductor's a fairly large startup now, but during my time three and a half years there it felt small in the best kinds of ways: The executives were accessible; my coworkers were approachable; the organization was transparent. It's a meritocratic place to work -- good ideas and hard work are executed and rewarded. Most managerial positions are filled through internal promotions.Coworkers tend to be cordial and collaborative. There are vanishingly few divas in the Engineering organization. Those that exist generally temper themselves to the team's ethos or work themselves out of the organization on a short time horizon. Four months out and in a new job I love, I still miss my coworkers at Conductor daily. They were supportive, hard working, and bright, easily the best part of the position. You can learn a lot here if you're willing to pursue it, particularly if you're willing to get $&*# done in a maintainable way.

Cons

Work/life balance is at times difficult at Conductor, although I'm not convinced that was always management's fault (full disclosure: I was a low-level engineering manager for a couple years at Conductor). Like most technology firms, there's a lot to do and not nearly enough engineers to do it. For the most part, deadlines are reasonable, but no one's going to explicitly stop you if you indulge your workaholism and burn yourself out, until you're so far gone it's obvious to everyone. If you work for Conductor, you'll need to practice economy of motion. Conductor struggled with project management and prioritization for most of my time there, but a few key hires and new positions in 2016 dramatically improved the situation by the time I left. Projects felt much more defined and executable in 2016 than at any point before, and that trend looked both healthy and established.
