      We appreciate you sharing this feedback. We really do like to hear that you find the work we do at Schellman to be interesting. Sometimes amidst the daily stressors at the firm and our responsibilities, the mission we get to contribute to can be a bright spot. That said, we also understand what you’re feeling with regards to time tracking and projects stacking. While our communication around time reporting did attempt to explain ‘why’ behind its implementation, the fact is that this is standard practice in our industry, and in order for us to accurately assess the health of the firm, these data points are crucial. As to benefits at the firm, they are largely driven by employee feedback via our annual benefits survey. We intentionally try and make changes that will improve the employee experience while meeting the changing needs of everyone across the firm. Please let us know if you have thoughts on anything that has changed, or ways to improve benefits at Schellman, by emailing feedback@schellman.com. We are sorry to hear that our company Reboot trips aren’t reaching you where you are in your journey at Schellman. But the resounding feedback we get is that employees feel more connected, informed, and excited about the work we do after each trip. We want them (and you!) to feel seen, heard, and absolutely appreciated for their contributions to our success. We offer a feedback form at the conclusion of each trip, and we hope you can share some honest takeaways on how you think we can make them even more impactful.

      Not a place for technical people

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Nice people overall - Expectations are somewhat set, though not always - There is some structure to the workplace and all the administration needed to do the job.

      Cons

      - The firm is PE owned so that means you need to track time and its required. That means arbitrary standards can be set on time tracking. - Leadership seems to be all over the place. Reports of many switches in decisions and when to do things and at what time and place - Middle management doesn't really know how to run teams that deal with technical sectors. They pretty much just "vibe manage" and make a lot of assumptions that actually end up hurting their direct reports because they don't share those assumptions. - Product management is in absolute shambles. You have people who are supposed to be technical running teams that they can't understand who works on what and how modern systems are built. This leads to multiple levels of miscommunication that hurts direct reports because expectations become muddy. - Example of above: I had a PM who would change their mind on a dime because they didn't know the proper way to manage the team they were in charge of. Then, they would have plausible deniability when they did change their mind because "they're the boss," but would never ask senior people to come up with a plan. They always wanted to do it themselves, despite them never doing it in their career before.

      Schellman prides itself on being an organization with a high volume of cybersecurity, engineering, and information technology backgrounds. That broad technical expertise allows us to operate at the forefront, setting standards for some of the most advanced cybersecurity frameworks in the world. That said, we’re sorry to hear that you had some difficult experiences with your supervisor. To ensure your concerns are heard and dealt with fairly, we encourage everyone to reach out to other leaders you feel comfortable with, People Experience Managers, and even our Chief People and Culture Officer directly. Regarding time tracking, we know that such a shift in process can be difficult, but time tracking has become crucial to helping us make investments into the future of the firm. At launch, we made sure to explain the more detailed reasoning behind its implementation, and we continue to offer support where we can. Lastly, our Private Equity Partnerships are valuable and necessary for us to reach the goals we’ve set for ourselves. Their investment, belief in our vision, support of our culture, and expertise have allowed us to keep growing year over year while investing in new technology. We hope you can see what doors these partnerships open for us because we’ve worked hard to select the right ones.

      Great Benefits, Losing Culture

      Pros

      Great benefits and longevity used to be a good thing here, along with a strong culture.

      Cons

      People first is no longer true. The culture is failing.
