Current Employee – been working at DataCert

Pros – DataCert is a place where motivated, self-starters can thrive – there are always new projects on the horizon and I enjoy a lot of independence in how I manage my projects to completion, which I really appreciate. And, coming from a past job where I was 1 out of 200,000+ employees, it’s really cool that at a company like DataCert you can really see and feel how your personal contributions directly impact the company’s success and future.

Since joining DataCert about a year and a half ago, it’s been amazing to see the change that implementing a disciplined approach to product management/development has brought. Were there growing pains as the company culture changed? Sure. But we now have a top-notch Product Management team that is passionate about a market-driven approach to enhancing our products and has worked to foster strong communication with DataCert customers - both corporate clients and law firms. It’s exciting to see how, in partnership with our Development team, this approach has enabled us to deliver product enhancements over the past few months that differentiate us in the marketplace. Personally, I’m excited when I look at our product and our company’s roadmap for 2010 and beyond.

Cons – The workload can be challenging… over the past few months we’ve had a lot of exciting product enhancements and opportunities to educate the market about globalization of e-billing and supporting these projects has kept me probably busier than I have ever been at a job. However, my managers have been responsive when I’ve vocalized that my work/life balance is feeling “off” and they’ve helped me to re-prioritize.

Advice to Senior Management – You’ve got an exciting vision for the future of DataCert and it’s fun to be a part of beginning to execute these plans. Keep leading us in this positive direction and support us when we need additional resources on our team to help us get there.

Current Employee – been working at DataCert

Pros – I currently work at DataCert and have found it to be the best place I have ever worked. It is a fast growing, fast moving company that puts a premium on hard work, inventiveness and team work. Over the past 2 years DataCert has professionalized its work force and created a focus on the things every company should (growing positive earnings, training and career growth for employees, . . .) in addition to continuing its sales success -- DataCert grew more in 2008 than many of its competitors had grown in the past 5 years combined, and based on the deals I've heard about this year, 2009 is going to be event better than 2008.

I feel valued as an employee at DataCert, that my input is heard by top management, and that the company senior leadership has a good plan to continue to succeed.

Cons – Because DataCert is rolling out to 6 global customers this year, we have to develop products to comply with foreign laws, and that is challenging, to say the least. Also, helping implement a new internal ERP system is not the funnest part of my job (but should help in the future).

Advice to Senior Management – Please continue to maintain consistency in your vision and communication to employees.

Current Employee – been working at DataCert

Pros – DataCert has grown exponentially in the last year in its client base and law firm connections, and in order to adapt, it has had to become more of a professional and mature company with structured systems in place, rather than continue to operate as a small start-up company like it used to. It has become a very exciting place to work, with the company's vision and future openly communicated to all employees, and very much aligned with their customers' wants and needs. Management displays a clear open door policy and is great with receiving feedback from all employees. They are also good with recognizing talent in employees and giving larger and more challenging projects to keep the employees engaged. DataCert encourages continued learning to help with their success not only at DataCert, but in their overall career goals, which is something you don't see often in a lot of companies. Unsure as to the reasons for the more negative reviews below, as DataCert has been an overall positive working experience for myself.

Cons – The office has a weird set up that doesn't really encourage a lot of employee interaction, but it's more of a building issue.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't stray from your vision and keep the communication lines open between yourselves and the employees. Continue planning events that help with employee morale and team building.
