RootMetrics reviews

1. Combining vacation and sick days into one PTO bucket means people are constantly coming to work sick. You'll catch whatever goes around, guaranteed. 2. Turnover seems pretty high in the software groups. 3. In the software groups you'll hear a lot of Agile methodology buzzwords, but it's really just disorganized waterfall-ish. "Sprints" can span months, for example. 4. Management may be laid-back, but also pretty standoffish by hiding in offices and rarely interacting with the people that report to them, let alone people on teams they don't manage. For example, after well over a year my skip level manager has never spoken to me about anything work-related, not even a "how's it going on your team?" 5. Unusually noisy open office environment. If you need to actually think about what you're doing, good luck. 6. Yeah, we have a parking problem, but putting together a telecommuting policy is too much trouble.

The company grew so quickly that there are some cumbersome or outdated systems and processes, but solutions to those are in the process of being implemented. There aren't enough parking spaces for employees, but there is a shuttle service from surrounding park & rides and during the lunch hour, as well as a monetized incentive program around finding alternate ways to work. I feel like some of these growing pains are to be expected, and while they can be a nuisance, the core of RootMetrics is very solid.
