Company hires remote employees - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Engine Room

Really great remote firm focused on providing growth opportunities

No upward review process that provides the opportunity for feedback to your managers. No company defined matrix for level expectations making it difficult to set goals.

Remote work, decent initial pay, good benefits and 401k contribution.

Engine Room provides outsourced accounting services for biotech and IT companies. Management expects you to work excessive hours, often supporting 4+ companies simultaneously while providing only 2 weeks of vacation annually, so burnout is rampant. They have favored employees who spend an exorbitant amount of time micromanaging while providing limited support. Their client onboarding team is very disorganized leaving the "permanent" team members to clean up workbooks, payroll, compliance, etc. while performing required monthly tasks, They have semiannual rah-rah sessions in CA that are not mandatory but expected causing extra stress to meet deadlines while traveling. Engine Room is ALWAYS hiring due to their high turnover rate. They operate on a churn-and-burn basis as there are always new accountants to throw to the wolves. The initial pay is decent, but growth (financially and professionally) is limited.
