Pros

2018 seems to be going great for the company. Marketplace seems to really be responding to the sustained success of the company.

Cons

2017 was a bit of a tough year. Market challenges and "company needing to grow up" seemed to conspire together for one of the most challenging years of the company -- but it looks like the company came out of that in 2018 and things are going really well now.

Thank you for your review and for your encouraging words. I agree with your assessment -- 2017 was a challenging year for us as a comp;any, both because of external factors, but also because it was time for us to take the next step in our maturation, and those steps are not without pain. I feel sincere gratitude to you and to our hundreds of other teammates who stuck with us through the challenges of 2017, including a major reorganization mid-year, to make it to the other side of those challenges. We are fortunate to be seeing significant success and growth in 2018, and we're excited to continue with that momentum by finishing strong in this quarter and continuing throughout the rest of this year. Thank you for your direct contributions to that success. Best, Dan

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
