Pros

The field is interesting, if nothing else. The mission is unclear, but from what vague hints employees do receive about the actual goals of the company, it seems neat.

Cons

I was hired to perform a very specific set of functions. After 3 weeks, I was told that, due to my technical background, I’d be given an additional set of functions to perform, along with a major task that nobody there knew how to do. I was asked how long it would take to complete the task. After planning, I created numerous very specific tickets, and told my management it would take 10 weeks. I was told I had 2 weeks. I undertook the task, neglecting the purposes for which I’d been hired. After working 6 weeks of nights and weekends, with no assistance until the last day of the project and with numerous major overhauls demanded at the direction of my manager, I completed the project and was immediately let go literally the exact moment my successful build finished deploying. Huge waste of time, effort, and resources. Luckily, given the fact that management at all levels - not just mine - is so poor, the company will likely not last long enough to cause many more of the same sorts of problems I dealt with.

We are sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience at True Anomaly. We understand that being subject to a layoff is not fun for anyone, however, it was a necessary step to restructure the business, eliminating some departments and which included some specific leadership that did not match with the knowledge and capabilities needed for our next stage. While we can’t be sure that the leadership you speak of is still at True Anomaly, we are working swiftly to ensure we have the right leaders setting the right tone in alignment with our values and leadership principles. We’ve conducted, and will continue to conduct, listening sessions and surveys with our employees to truly understand their perspective which is very important to us, and evolve the business for the best employee experience.

Pros

This company is filled with hard working, dedicated employees that care about their peers, the mission, and the work. Benefits are really great - the best I've come across in my experience. Salary and equity is competitive.

Cons

It's a start-up environment which requires more hours that usual but that's typical when building a company to success.

Pros

This place is growing fast, TONS of wins on their rounds with the latest being 650mil!! Working with a real goal in mind, to keep our country safe! They hire some of the best in their field, as long as most personable people I have worked with in awhile. At about 100+ so far, they operate at a much higher and faster rate than the people they even have. The CEO is beyond cool to work with and for! We have some very new cool stuff to work with!

Cons

None at the moment going on! Very fast paced, so if that isnt for you then....
