Overworked and underpaid. Still being paged 2.5 years after leaving.
Pros
Was a great company to work for under the original CEO. A fun start up with really great coworkers.
Cons
Expected me to be on call 24/7/365. Even when I was on PTO, if something broke I was called and asked to fix it. I never got a break. Tech departments were always terribly understaffed. Especially operations. There was no time to keep up with technology. Always running on ancient software, and never had time to clean up tech debt. I'm writing this 2.5 years after I left because things are going so badly there that I still get text alerts from their systems. I've contacted several employees about this, including the CEO. They're paging a sys admin that hasn't been there for 2.5 years. That's how badly things are going at Alchemer. Do not work here, especially as an SRE, Devops, Operations, whatever they're calling it now.
