bad management - Recensione dipendente - Principal Electrical Engineer presso Detect (CT)

- Amazing initial moments riding the wave of investment and commercial/B2B success

- Rough moments after the initial starting point, employee churn and changes in direction - not able to right itself easily

A work space with amazing, smart, driven individuals. Had a lot of autonomy over my work and direction. Began as a really great company that cared for their employees but that has changed.

Over the two years I worked at Detect, the company culture and values declined a lot. The first year was honestly the best place I have ever worked. Great work life balance, amazing opportunities and areas of growth/learning, and a place I felt so strongly about I brought multiple people into the company. A lot of the benefits of working here were taken away. It used to be customer centered while raising up and encouraging their employees. By the time I left it became a "boys" club. Only a select few actually have a voice (aka whoever could talk over everyone the most or be the loudest), they got rid of company holidays that were beneficial for parents, and other benefits that drew me to Detect. I wouldn't be surprised if this continues. I'd just be cautious of what they may be promising you. They promised us a 20% bonus, kept pushing this off for months, and at the end of the day we never saw any of it. They say their pay is great and you won't find it elsewhere but let me tell you, I have.
