AGIO Reviews

Pros

Great place to learn tech and expand skillset.

Cons

This is a technology company servicing the demands of hedge funds. If you are looking to kick back and coast, Agio is not for you.

Pros

Remote work is now fully embraced. My team was great. The company promotes a culture where communication is accepted and encouraged. Work parties were a blast.

Cons

Still feels like a start up at times. Constantly short staffed, especially in client facing technical support roles. The vision or direction at the top doesn't always match up with what the boots on the ground see. Always seems like the company is management heavy, never have I seen such a large management team for such a small company. CEO used to feel plugged in but now feels out of pocket all the time.

Pros

Flexible schedule, remote work, good benefits

Cons

Culture has degraded over the years, high workloads, limited opportunities for salary increases, management will let their staff take the fall for their mistakes

Pros

I genuinely enjoy working at Agio and even more so with my team. Not only are they smart and hard working, talented individuals, but they are supportive and kind as well. I love that there is a focus built around feedback and being better than yesterday. The executives at Agio do seem to realize that we are nowhere near perfect, but are working hard to continue improvement. Collaborative and open communication focused culture. I feel a strong sense of belonging amongst my team, but also working across other departments. I like that it's still relatively easy to connect with other even while being remote.

Cons

There is a long way to go in training leaders and in employee engagement. Everyone is stressed for time and that can make it hard to really focus on improvement rather than just treading way. I think Agio is on the way to hopefully correcting that though, as it is at least being talked about a people leader level.

Pros

Great culture Opportunities to learn and grow They will listen to your ideas

Cons

Compensation could be a bit better

Pros

I've worked from my home at Agio for the past year+, meeting most of my coworkers through remote exchanges only. However, that said I could not feel more involved in my work community and connected to what's being accomplished across the firm. Are there misses sometimes in project deadlines or frustrations because something launched too soon and we had to fix the plane in flight? Sure. Same as any tech company, there are imperfections. But what I love about the Agio culture is at any level I'm empowered to say something and become part of the solution team. In one of my first weeks during a recurring CEO AMA ("Ask Me Anything") meeting some of the employees were asking some really direct and what I perceived to boarderline as disrespectful questions to the CEO regarding recent work. He, and other members of the executive team responded openly, there was no blame or finger pointing, and the discussion blew my mind. Without getting into the details of that particular case, the exchange stuck with me and I take it today as a sign of overall social maturity that I'm proud to be connected to. We have a cultural expectation at Agio of being a "fully formed adult" that gives us all the autonomy to just get on with great work. For me, that's meant psychological safety to try things, make mistakes, and engage in honest and productive debate. I work with my favorite team of coworkers from any other time in life, and I truly respect the leadership above me. It's just a good group of people. It also does not hurt that I've already been promoted within my first year. If you own your role and do what you do well, there is plenty of opportunity for advancement. I'm ready for the next step, and to cheer for the rest of my team as they find success and advance. DEI - Lots of cool initiatives from over the past year to drive more inclusion. We're hybrid or remote first, so anyone in a life-situation who cannot easily commute to an office is as included as in person employees. Generous and inclusive parental leave policies. Wellness is prioritized - Unlimited PTO for great work-life balance. Lot's of activities, classes, resources. Really good benefits overall for a small company.

Cons

If you were a very shy person, you might not take advantage of the opportunities to assimilate into Agio's culture. There are some, for example, who rarely turn on their cameras or engage in the conversation (whatever the meeting may be). Remotely, those are the business groups that are harder to work with when needed.

Pros

Prior to leadership changes the company wasn't perfect but the culture was motivating. Everyone on the team strived to #bebetterthanyesterday

Cons

After several changes in leadership the culture fell off as did leadership. It went from being a strong culture that encouraged development and learning to fear and finger pointing.

Pros

Generally the people are good to work with

Cons

Bad work like balance Unrealistic work load High staff turnover Policy enforcement is "pick and choose" For a company that states 24/7 coverage in many areas but then has engineers single threaded is ridiculous Etc

Pros

You get to work with talented people, and have a good amount of autonomy while working. you will learn a lot.

Cons

Company is too focused on diversity and inclusion instead of just hiring the right people for the job. Company is hurting financially and believe that it can be fixed by not hiring "2 white men in a row". Although diversity is a beautiful thing, this company has mistaken diversity for their own opinion of what beauty is, doing the very thing they say they are avoiding. That, coupled with knee jerk reactions to almost everything makes for a chaotic and hectic workplace.

Pros

make my own hours. remote.

Cons

They are currently understaffed and the workload is high.
