      Vantaggi

      I've been at Factual since October. From my experience thus far, these are the key takeaways: 1. The company culture is fantastic. I cannot stress that enough. In the short time I've been here, I've made many close friends and employees seem to really enjoy spending time together. A big group of us just went to Mammoth together. It makes coming to work really fun. 2. Factual has been around for 9 years and is not a super early stage startup. Having said that, I believe it is one of the rare startups that is in a life stage that still allows for ample growth, career opportunities and risk taking while being stable enough so that you are not worried about if it is going to be around next year. 3. I've been really happy working at Factual and there are many factors to that happiness, ranging from work-life balance, a culture that fits my personality, a solid, growing company that has multiple revenue streams and management that delegates meaningful responsibilities effectively. I feel lucky to work here!

      Svantaggi

      As with any startup that is in a growth phase, there are many moving parts and some of our product strategy is evolving. You have to be comfortable with change and rolling with the punches occasionally. We move super fast and people are given meaningful runway when it comes to making decisions. You must be comfortable with the inevitable stress that comes with that responsibility.

      Great coworkers, relaxing culture, and unlimited vacation. Great place for fresh grad software engineers. As a software engineer, you will learn lots of cutting edge technologies. Gil is a great, personable CEO.

      Svantaggi

      The projects typically revolves around adtech industry. The recent company value they publish was rather hypercritical. I think they publish that to make senior management feel good, but a lot of people don't believe in these values. Engineers are being unfairly compensated, especially Data Engineers. Firstly, most of the Data Engineers are in fact data analyst, and receive an engineering title, and therefore expecting to be better compensated. Most of the engineers receive a market, or below market salary, and negligible share of company's liquidity, and salary adjustment does not happen often. Data Engineers aren't being well respected, in particular, fairly compensated. Salary adjustment after joining the company is rather minimal. There's very little professional training opportunity for Data Engineer. It is unlikely for a data engineer to acquire essential engineering skill after a year or two of tenureship in the company, unless one is being proactive at acquiring software skills. Non-engineering teams also aren't well respected, professionally, at the company. Bottom line: Software engineer shouldn't expect a market value compensation package, and stock option means non to minimal value. Don't come to factual as data engineer, they aren't well respected and compensated, and it is unlikely you will learn important big data technology here at factual.

      Wow, I'm really disheartened to hear some of what you're saying. I want to talk about respect first. One of my favorite things about Factual is the wonderful and amazing team we've built here. Yes, there are a lot of super talented and creative individuals, but a high functioning team comes from something beyond that. A lot of it comes down to respect. I certainly have a ton of respect for everyone, from Sales to Data Engineering to Operations. And, I believe it is ingrained in our culture as well - so I’m surprised and sorry to hear that you don’t feel that way. We’ve recently codified our company values here (http://www.factual.com/about ). I want to point out that this was not an exercise of a management dictating an ideal that looks good on paper. Rather, this came from a large, broad committee that proactively drove a process of articulating company values. I was delighted with the result as it so closely mirrored the values that I do my best to live, and so often come up as a north star in internal meetings and discussions. But, this is a continuous improvement process, and your feedback highlights the fact that as a company, we should never be content. I hope you feel free to further communicate with your manager, with me, or through Suggestion Ox! Regarding compensation, we put a lot of time into semi-annual reviews and regular benchmarking against the market to make sure we are competitive. I’m sorry that in your case you feel overlooked. Training and development is an area in which I recognize we could do better, and we are in the process of making this more structured. As you hinted at, there are plenty of opportunities to grow and learn but it has required a little more initiative from the individual to develop new skills. I’d love to hear more about specific skills/training/development opportunities you wish you had so that we can make sure to incorporate. Gil, Founder & CEO, Factual
