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 worked at Tom Sawyer Software for 1.5 years at its headquarters in Berkeley, CA. - The company has a very powerful, top-of-the-line data visualization product and hundreds of big name customers using it. The people who developed it are extremely talented, experienced, and intelligent. This once niche industry is fast growing, and I learned a great deal about the data visualization and the market working with with them. My work was very much appreciated and I felt valued working here. - Tom Sawyer has teams globally in multiple locations, the HQ office in Berkeley has people from various countries and nationalities, all of which add to the diversity and richness of the company culture. Several employees also work remotely around the US, and office employees have a chance to work remotely several days a week. Flexible work hours make it easy for those commuting long distances. And working from home when needed (tending to a sick child, parent, or pet) was welcomed. - There is a lot of emphasis on process and putting in place systems that aim to make work-flow efficient and smooth for everyone. Since Tom Sawyer has teams working from all over the place, this made work pretty streamlined. If you are process-oriented and well-organized, you would enjoy working here. - People at this company, including the ones I directly worked with, are very friendly, supportive, and helpful. I found my direct supervisors and colleagues very compassionate, kind, and understanding during particularly hard times in my personal life. I greatly appreciated the family friendly atmosphere here. - The atmosphere in the office is pretty casual and fun. The company regularly organizes office potlucks, summer grills, lunch outings, and holiday celebrations. The kitchen is supplied with great snacks and drinks that keep you going during the day. I really enjoyed working at Tom Sawyer and I would definitely recommend it.

Cons

Since the company is growing fast and the industry has a great potential for growth, I would suggest that the company get more new tools in order to scale.

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, improve my knowledge, develop new skills, and create something new. We are now at a time of rapid growth and exciting new global initiatives. This is an exciting time to be working at Tom Sawyer Software and I look forward to the opportunities and challenges that come with the expansion of the business.

Cons

There is a need for more on-boarding training. The first couple of weeks can be confusing on where to find the information you need that pertains to your job.
