Extreme Growth company, great remote culture, bright future - Head of Engineering SESO Employee Review

Engaged and aligned team: Everyone is rowing in the same direction, and the level of commitment across the company is inspiring. Fantastic customers: The agriculture clients we serve are warm, authentic, and straightforward, which makes the work rewarding on a human level. Meaningful mission: The problems we’re solving are complex and impactful. Supporting the agriculture industry feels like important, purpose-driven work that makes a real difference. Aligned leadership: The leadership team is aligned, communicates clearly, and works well together. Remote-first culture: Provides flexibility and balance while keeping the team connected.

Lean operations: We’re still running lean, which means being thoughtful and disciplined with resources and spending. Regulatory dependency: Shifts in government regulations can impact priorities quickly, requiring fast pivots and adaptability.

Really amazing group of engineers, designers and product managers. Everyone has a great attitude, very willing to help. Small dev teams have good chemistry, great team leads. Decent pay, and unlimited PTO

Lots of tech debt, although they are trying to improve it. Leadership frequently makes random unrealistic deadlines. Company hired a lot of people this year, only to let half of them go due to poor planning and took no ownership. On-call shifts (24/7) that last a week, every 6 weeks, very stressful as there are a lot of issues with the application, performance, outages, and data integrity. Front end code is a mess. The nature of the work is complicated and lots of training is required to get up to speed on what the company does. Lots of US government bureaucratic stuff.
