Vantaggi
- Socially, Sentry was amazing! I loved the open office environment that allowed people to see everyone and quickly connect with others. Happy Hours were great because they were themed and everyone participated and had a great time. The Slack "Donut Bot" made it easy to connect with other people across the company by grabbing coffee or lunch. - I had great team mates, they were smart, fun, and collaborative. We often hung out during and outside of work hours. - Sentry's product is top in it's class, there's a reason why Sentry is a Unicorn valued over $1B.
Svantaggi
- The only thing saving Sentry is it's killer product........ - Leadership is trash. Sentry is a prime example of a startup that has a solid product but very unethical management of employees and terrible and far from transparent leadership. - WARNING: You will be fired for NO GOOD reason. It happen more often than it should. An employee asked for a reasonable raise. Fired. An employee was promoted and destroyed their quota first quarter. Fired right after. A C-LEVEL EXECUTIVE was hired, worked one week, went on an agreed vacation for one week, walked into the office first day back and packed his bags that same morning. Fairness and ethics is not a value Sentry cares about. HR is not there to support you. They are there to protect the company and their executives (their bosses). You are not considered. If you are fired, you are not given a reason by HR or your boss. They won't care or ask about your side of the story. There is no warm up to the firing. No "hey, we see you're not doing what we need you to do, so here's a performance improvement plan". You will just be cut. Because of this, those that don't fit the role of the typical Tech persona of a white dude with engineering or sales bro nature, you will not survive. Many women, Black, and other underrepresented employees left because of the toxic way Sentry operates and treats their employees. There was even an employee led "Culture Club" and "DEI Group" to help the company improve. I was in these groups. HR and executives did not care that morale was dropping even though we gave extra time out of our day to support their improvement. Stay away from them if you can. As they get bigger and become more and more of a machine, it's only going to get worst and you will be ingested and shat out like no one cares.
