Pros

Working at this company is the opportunity to work with the world's leading graph visualization and analysis technologies. For those new to the field, meaningful graph visualization and analysis is much more difficult than it might seem at first glance. Tom Sawyer provides powerful, interactive, and customizable visualizations and analysis for large, complex data. Not only are the visualizations and analysis problems we solve very interesting and challenging, but also knowing how to apply these technologies is very interesting and complex. It is very exciting work. Customers who need solutions for difficult visualization and analysis problems come to us because we can provide solutions for those problems. We help top global customers from a wide variety of industries such as aerospace, automotive, banking, defense, fraud detection, investigation, IT, manufacturing, networking, and pharmaceuticals. Check out the company website blog to see more about what Tom Sawyer does. Our colleagues are very smart and nice. Many have worked for this company well over a decade, while others have returned here after working for other companies. We have meetings with lots of open, lively discussions and I feel respected when sharing my ideas. In addition to the exciting work, we have wonderful work-life balance including working from home and flexible schedules. Also, parents who have taken time away from their careers to stay home with their families are welcomed with full respect for their capabilities.

Cons

Fast paced with wide variety of application topics. I like things that move fast and think variety is the spice of life, however it is not for people who want to do the same work day-in-and-day-out.

Pros

I've worked at Tom Sawyer for over three years, and one of my favorite things about it is the friendly staff. People are always happy to help and answer questions, and they respect each other as individuals who have personal lives outside of work. The CEO and all of the technical staff are true experts in graph and data visualization as well as software engineering and data science. The products are very powerful as well, and I'm often impressed by the caliber of customers we are able to obtain and the reputation we have built over the years in the domains we support.

Cons

The company is not large, so people sometimes have to do multiple jobs or take on tasks beyond their official roles. I've been able to learn a lot and gain valuable experience this way, but it may not be for everyone.

Pros

Great work from home policy

Cons

No raise for two years despite positive feedback + furlough due to covid. It should be considered fortunate to at least have a job during covid when so many people around you are unemployed.

Thanks for your honest feedback. These are definitely challenging times. We chose to preserve the jobs of all our talented staff and intend to weather this pandemic and come out stronger on the other side. It's the companies 30th anniversary this year, and we're looking forward to the next 30 years!
