Vantaggi

The people I worked with directly were the only positive part of the job. My coworkers and immediate manager were supportive, helpful, and genuinely wanted me to succeed. Teams collaborated well and made the workday manageable. Unfortunately, none of that made up for the repeated failures and dishonesty from leadership.

Svantaggi

From day one, leadership misled me: Salary bait-and-switch – I was told I was the ideal candidate for a new position started by the CTO, yet was offered the lowest salary in the range. When I raised that concern, they only moved me to the lowest quartile and refused to go higher despite their earlier promises. Work location changes – My offer letter said I could work from Salt Lake, but once hired they changed it to HQ in Pleasant Grove, forcing a long commute from Sugar House with no additional compensation for the first 6 months. Health insurance mishandling – I was told I could add my fiancée to my insurance at no extra cost, but after they realized they couldn’t do that legally, they backtracked after I had already signed her up. I was forced to pay over $500 extra per paycheck. My only “solution” was to get legally married 6 months before my wedding rather than them admitting their mistake and covering the cost. Job elimination after my honeymoon – With no warning, the day I returned from my honeymoon I was told my Business Development role no longer existed. I was informed it was certainly not because of performance. They offered me a technical GIS role I wasn’t qualified for, which was essentially a way to push me out. The CTO created the role I was hired into, but within a year, likely under pressure from private equity ownership, decided to cut it entirely. I was left with no choice but to leave. On top of all this, the CTO never once reached out to explain his reasoning or show any accountability. The entire experience was unstable, disrespectful, and showed that leadership had no clear vision for the role or the people in it.

Vantaggi

Great benefits, You will most likely get paid more than the average engineering firm as far as marketing goes. Comp time for overhead employees is unique in this industry.

Svantaggi

Lots of leadership changes in the Colorado office over the past few years. Because of this, there is a "make it or break it" kind of attitude in that region. As the only marketer in that office, there is little room for career growth or mentorship, unlike other regions of the company. Current leadership is very unwillingly to entertain outside opinions or perspectives. As a marketer, it was difficult to manage local expectations with corporate expectations and you are often told to "choose a side." This office takes "loyalty" very seriously and if you are seen as being on corporate's side or if they think you are sharing their operations with the corporate team, your job will be made very difficult. Women employees beware, your opinions will be minimized, regardless of experience or authority. Unless you're ready to "bend the knee" this is not the right place for you.
