Pros

_free drinks, biweekly meals -really great people

Cons

- lack of any real innovation - aging, stalled products - inability of senior management to make decisions and proceed in a direction without going back reversing course - no yearly review process or wage increases, not even cost of living.And with no further incentives (bonuses, rrsps, stocks etc) you’re pretty much stuck at the income level you start at

Signiant Response

I’m sorry that your current experience working at Signiant doesn’t appear to align with the awesome experience we intend to provide for the hard-working talented people on our team. As you stated, we have great people, and as a small, agile and growing private Software as a Service company, Signiant’s objective is to continue to attract and retain the best and brightest software developers in the industry. To retain talented people, we pay market competitive salaries and offer stock option grants consistent with work being performed. We empower our people to push boundaries and we review and reward our people’s accomplishments continuously rather than using a dated annual review process. People that demonstrate initiative and push boundaries are also rewarded with interesting work on new products and technologies, although this is somewhat circular in that these people are also key to setting the course for new products, technologies and ultimately the growth of the company. The contributions of our people have not only resulted in a marquee customer list, but also in an Emmy award and ten patents including four patents issued in the past year for cloud technology innovations. I’d encourage you to express your concerns directly with myself or your manager and to have an open discussion on Signiant’s fit with your career ambitions. Ian Hamilton, Signiant CTO
