Pros

You learn a lot quickly about different platforms and industries as you change projects frequently ; There are some great people to work with on your team and on the client side (not including leadership)

Cons

Incompetent leadership. Hired one president that was the face of the company and a media personality which wasn’t what the company needed, now another more promising president that again is moving too slowly to make a real difference that will change something. The director level roles including VPs, are filled with people that don’t have the experience or are competent. Look into their LinkedIn to review their resumes and you will understand (there is one exception, the VP Finance) but most of the directors you wonder what they do? It’s a small company, if they are doing something that contributes positively, you would definitely be able to see the results of their work. They are mostly hired or promoted because they stroke the right egos and are friends with the right people. Unfortunately this does affect the people reporting into them. Gossip. It’s grose how much unprofessional behaviour exists. When something is going around instead of hearing all sides leadership makes decisions on the basis of one persons “story”. Underpaying compared to other STARTUPS! It’s not a startup, revenue was quite high for 150 people company. Where is that money going when operating cost is only people! Pay inequality. They said they will reveal pay bands in Jan 2018 and it’s been more than a year and they are still not revealed. Sheets (CEO) yells at every townhall when someone even tries to ask this question. So ungrateful towards their individual contributors who are literally carrying the company on their backs. Also, what are the CPO and CTOs current contribution to the company? They use to be helpful like a year ago at least and now what do they do? There are so many things to be fixed, our venture side seems redundant but we are still investing in it. Has no one been auditing us to flag the inconsistencies?

Thank you for your feedback. Our leadership team is made of highly qualified individuals, with extensive backgrounds in their respectives fields. Each one has been chosen and put into their positions based on merit, which is one of the three core values at TribalScale. As a company, we value all of our employees hard efforts, and we do our best to reward those efforts in many ways; most importantly through frequent salary/career path reviews. We recently conducted a market scan to ensure our pay is on par with market.

Pros

People were nice and kind and the location was convenient for the subway

Cons

It's consulting work: mostly about the marketing rather than any quality of engineering. Pair programming sucks and is half as effective.
