Pros

Liked a lot of my coworkers, benefits were pretty good

Cons

Front-end teams get all the glory, prod support is a dumpster fire of incompetent management. The company also likes to give people a narrow set of responsibilities to the point that it becomes mind numbing work where your skillset will degenerate if you don't code as a hobby outside of work.

Sentry Response

Our systems call for a diverse range of technologies, responsibilities and assignments. I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not match your expectations.

Pros

They have a golf course that They will talk about non-stop. If you are a sales person, you are golden.

Cons

Completely missing company culture! I Worked for a company that was acquired Sentry. They promised to keep my position at time of acquisition. The entire department was laid off within less than a year of them making us Sentry employees. Management will tell you things that are not true. They will psychologically mess with you in order to manipulate you. Younger generation will not like work here. They work in very siloed environment.

Sentry Response

Promoting open communication is a value we hold of ourselves and our management. We strive to set realistic expectations during times of change. I’m sorry your experience during the transition didn’t match your expectations. Thank you for sharing your feedback. Javier Sotelo – Director of Employment and Employee Relations
