Pros

Generally great people, welcoming, fun, and hard working. PTO policies and generally very good salaries. At the beginning it's a great place to work. Hayes Drumwright is a visionary.

Cons

Hayes stepping away from the company to follow other interests (PopIn, Memento Mori) has dramatically changed the culture and personality of the company. The change of the company from a team of specialists supporting all account managers to each account manager having their own team has changed the company from a district model to a franchise model. This can be very good for the account managers as they don't have to share their engineering toys but it's very bad for the engineers that are part of the district and not part of one of the AM teams. The halfhearted creation of specialty groups across the company was an attempt to paper over this issue. Management is completely subservient to the account managers. Trace3 likes to say that they're an engineering company that has sales people, this is exactly backwards. Trace3 is run by and for sales people with engineers along for the ride.

Pros

Trace3 has an incredibly supportive and compassionate leadership team. Managers genuinely care about their people as individuals, not just employees, and they consistently show up with empathy, encouragement, and trust. There’s a strong focus on professional growth, with plenty of opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and get exposure to projects that align with your interests and strengths. Collaboration is a huge strength here. Teams work well together across roles and functions, and there’s a true sense of consistency in how people partner and communicate. No one hesitates to step in and help when needed — even outside their immediate responsibilities — which creates a culture of shared ownership and mutual respect. On top of all that, the culture is genuinely fun and energizing. People are smart, driven, and kind, and the environment makes it easy to enjoy the work you’re doing alongside teammates you actually like working with. Trace3 strikes a rare balance between meaningful work, strong support, and a positive, engaging culture.
