Pros

Flexable work environment, good health insurance. Good teams that I have worked with. Diverse products with interesting problem solving.

Cons

I have talked to several different people across multiple different teams in Transimpact. Many of them agree that they are being payed under market rate. About 30% of them are actively looking for other positions in other companies that will pay them more than they are currently getting payed. A small handful of developers I was talking to is being forced to move to a different job due to pay reasons, they don't want to leave, but they need to pay rent so they have to leave. They have tell upper management know about this but have been effectually told that its not an issue and that they wont do anything about. Carrier progression here is not well defined and I honestly don't have any hope of having a lasting carrier here because of it. Not one manager can tell me a clear defined path of progression in this company and it really just feels like if you know people you will get promoted here. Another issue is management taking the reactive stance to issues rather than listening to anyone bellow them giving the warning bells. They would rather have an issue happen, freakout, then go into panic and force the team to go faster rather than listen to the team say that an issue will happen if we don't address it now. Although any place you will find this, it is very frustrating when it actively slows down the pipeline.

Thank you for your feedback. It’s very important for us to listen and hear all constructive comments that can potentially make us better. I’ve said this many times and will continue to reiterate that overall, we have a top-tier compensation and benefits package company-wide. Paychecks, healthcare, cultural investment, are all things we prioritize and I'm proud to communicate how much time we spend talking about being the best company for employees to work. I can tell you with the highest confidence we don’t force good, productive employees into anything. Those are the very employees (who make up the vast majority of our employee headcount) we continue to invest in their growth, development, and paychecks. Prioritization demands tough decisions be made. If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. While things may seem reactive, I assure you we’ve put the most proactive and well-thought-out plans in the history of our company for 2024 and 2025. We’ve made good predictions, and we’ve made some poor predictions. I’m proud of both. Our failures are brilliant teachers, and those failures are most welcomed because we win infinitely more than we lose. Fast paced, high growth companies can cause frustration at times but that’s expected. Fast paced, high growth companies vs. stagnant, limited growth companies…that’s an easy choice. I wish you great success as we hate to lose any employee. Sincerely, Berkley Stafford, CEO

Pros

Coworkers were fantastic. They were supportive, talented, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Strong team camaraderie made the day-to-day experience positive. Many individuals truly cared about the work and wanted to help the company succeed.

Cons

Pay was below the current market rate for developers. Leadership prided themselves on making rapid changes, which led to systems, priorities, and workflows shifting with little to no warning. These abrupt pivots caused significant rework and made long-term planning difficult. A growing blame culture emerged, where issues were sometimes placed on individuals instead of examining broader process or leadership problems. Communication from upper management was inconsistent. Growth opportunities were limited unless you specifically wanted to move into management, which made career progression difficult for technical contributors.
