Vantaggi

- Nice people overall - Expectations are somewhat set, though not always - There is some structure to the workplace and all the administration needed to do the job.

Svantaggi

- The firm is PE owned so that means you need to track time and its required. That means arbitrary standards can be set on time tracking. - Leadership seems to be all over the place. Reports of many switches in decisions and when to do things and at what time and place - Middle management doesn't really know how to run teams that deal with technical sectors. They pretty much just "vibe manage" and make a lot of assumptions that actually end up hurting their direct reports because they don't share those assumptions. - Product management is in absolute shambles. You have people who are supposed to be technical running teams that they can't understand who works on what and how modern systems are built. This leads to multiple levels of miscommunication that hurts direct reports because expectations become muddy. - Example of above: I had a PM who would change their mind on a dime because they didn't know the proper way to manage the team they were in charge of. Then, they would have plausible deniability when they did change their mind because "they're the boss," but would never ask senior people to come up with a plan. They always wanted to do it themselves, despite them never doing it in their career before.

Schellman prides itself on being an organization with a high volume of cybersecurity, engineering, and information technology backgrounds. That broad technical expertise allows us to operate at the forefront, setting standards for some of the most advanced cybersecurity frameworks in the world. That said, we’re sorry to hear that you had some difficult experiences with your supervisor. To ensure your concerns are heard and dealt with fairly, we encourage everyone to reach out to other leaders you feel comfortable with, People Experience Managers, and even our Chief People and Culture Officer directly. Regarding time tracking, we know that such a shift in process can be difficult, but time tracking has become crucial to helping us make investments into the future of the firm. At launch, we made sure to explain the more detailed reasoning behind its implementation, and we continue to offer support where we can. Lastly, our Private Equity Partnerships are valuable and necessary for us to reach the goals we’ve set for ourselves. Their investment, belief in our vision, support of our culture, and expertise have allowed us to keep growing year over year while investing in new technology. We hope you can see what doors these partnerships open for us because we’ve worked hard to select the right ones.

Vantaggi

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Svantaggi

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Vantaggi

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Svantaggi

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
