Pros

Super friendly coworkers, great culture, learned a lot here. Everyone I met was always willing to help.

Cons

Full remote wasn't available, felt like we were never asked what we'd prefer, the decision was just made for us. Unclear/confusing requirements that need constant follow up with the business on. This results in many long meetings. Compensation is low. I didn't realize how underpaid I was until I started interviewing.

Sentry Response

Many of our projects are complex and require ongoing collaboration. As a company built on conversation, we’re constantly working to come up with the best solutions.

We routinely assess our compensation and benefits options to provide a competitive benefits package. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Jim Frank – Chief Information Officer
