Pros

...filling this site with fake positive reviews. It would be maddening if it wasn't so obvious and sad. It's certainly not helping with the lack of trust issues that define the culture here.

Cons

The executives can't get out of their own way. Employees are micromanaged to death, and the mood in the office reflects it. They preach an open and transparent environment, but the second you ask an uncomfortable question or point out an elephant in the room, you're quietly marked for dismissal. I've seen extremely talented people get pushed out of their roles simply because they offered a dissenting opinion, based in experience and fact, that didn't fit with management's "vision".

I want to thank you for taking the time to add your review, and I'm sorry that it has not been a positive experience for you at TraceLink. Glassdoor has a rigorous content review process to screen out false reviews. It's unfortunate that you chose to make an accusation about the HR team, since we are proud of our high standard of integrity and honesty. If you have questions or concerns, please stop by as my "door" is always open, or speak with anyone else on the HR team. Regarding your feedback, there is always room for improvement at any Company -- and TraceLink is no exception. It's important to hold a mirror up to ourselves and be mindful of our words and actions, and how this may be perceived by others. While we are not aware of the issues you described, we'd appreciate it you spoke with your manager or HR about your experiences, so we could troubleshoot effectively. However, I respect that you may not feel comfortable doing so and, again, am sorry that you have not had a great experience.

Pros

Engineering teams use niche technologies and updated stacks. Teams are very well informed and organized about the leadership GOALS. Good engineers and training is provided on various levels when needed.

Cons

Working with different teams to push for a unified goal/product release is not streamlined well. Example: If you are an engineer trying to achieve a planned activity, and you depend on multiple teams to achieve the task, then you often face delayed responses or long estimates to address dependencies.

Pros

* Free lunch in the office. * Good tech solving real problems and improving the safety of the pharma supply chain. * Smart contributor and manager-level employees.

Cons

* CEO and COO don't trust the people they hire and micromanage often. When something fails, you get blamed despite an executive taking a major role in shifting it from your vision to the current state. * Penny pinching and outsourcing constantly without considering the downstream consequences. Example: Cutting an experienced contractor to use a cheap foreign freelancer from an online marketplace, resulting in deliverable delays that affect board presentations. * General poor treatment of talent. Horror stories like pressuring people to finish work over the holidays for SKO, when in reality they were being laid off. Layoffs happen annually. An incredible amount of hiring from the outside instead of promoting within too. * Terrible RTO push. Went from attributing growth during COVID to how good we were at WFH to completely eliminating remote work opportunities and mandating 5 days in office.
