Elementum Reviews

Pros

Really committed to you Committed to company culture Great pay and benefits

Cons

Lots of self-executing with no room to delegate

Pros

Working at Elementum means working on an exciting platform with really talented people. Haters are going to hate on Elementum because our leadership isn't afraid to let people go (with generous severance packages) who don't fit the culture of work hard, play hard. Leadership gives everyone working on the product everything we need to be successful: high powered hardware, autonomy to solve engineering problems, breakfast lunch and dinner when you are in the office, generous time off to recharge, great benefits. Working at Elementum feels like working at a California tech startup in Utah.

Cons

We work really hard. If you are looking for "work-life balance" then go to a big tech company. If you want to work hard in pursuit of a big reward, come to Elementum.

Pros

Lot of opportunity in early days

Cons

Moved out of supply chain function

Pros

The people working at Elementum are great. I felt connected to my colleagues, even working from home. There is momentum, everyone is encouraging and working toward their team's goal.

Cons

Job security. Lots of shifts in the company. One team grows, another shrinks.

Pros

Benefits and snacks offered are the only ones I can think of

Cons

-Management doesn't know what they are doing. Would hire and then fire every quarter -Culture was toxic. Lots of backstabbing -Outlook of product is not promising

Pros

(As of 2018) -Daily catered lunches -Fun company culture -Weekly food truck vendors -Occasional on-site car-washing vendors -Occasional on-site masseuse vendors -Weekly hour-long all-hands meeting (company updates, employee acknowledgements, future plans, etc.) -Three Mountain View office buildings located next to one another -Great work-life balance

Cons

While my time at Elementum was fairly short, I really loved working at this company during 2017–2018. When I was laid off, I was quite surprised because I had not noticed that anything bad was going on with the company. We had just constructed a brand new beautiful office building and everything seemed to be going great, at least I thought. For a year or two after I was let go, the company was still laying off employees. All the friends I had had been laid off or voluntary quit (to avoid getting let go). The company no longer has any of their 3 Mountain View buildings, and have relocated to a smaller office in San Mateo.

Pros

a great place to work

Cons

Long hours and weekends are required

Pros

Strong cohesive leadership providing an extremely talented team the opportunity to build an entirely new discipline in supply chain that has somehow not been addressed over the past decade. Very strong product and culture throughout the organization focused on the customer’s success. It is refreshing to work for a company that consistently does the right thing for employees and customers.

Cons

I don’t consider this a con, but if you are not comfortable with rapid change, wearing multiple hats, rolling up your sleeves and doing hard work that is valued and rewarded this isn’t the place for you. No one is going to hold your hand or give you the answers. The expectation is they hire people that can get the job done and then empowers them to execute.

Pros

The company has gone through a lot of changes and is in a really good place. New products have been pretty successful and have gotten many new customers. This has fired up Engineering and Product Management to build a number of new products and features. It's quite nice to be building many new features and footprints cloud native AWS, from scratch, correctly. Good trainings from AWS. Good engineering collaboration. Lots of opportunities to learn and write major parts.

Cons

There is some maintenance we still do on legacy products. They are still very contemporary architectures all on AWS so it's not like it's FORTRAN.

Pros

Very good benefit, competitive salary, lots of extra perks and yes our lunches are really amazing.

Cons

Managment takes too long to let under performing employees go. I hope they change that behavior immediately. Here is an example: We had a very weak People Success team for a long time who hired really badly, and as a result of their poor hiring, lots of tier C and D employees were working at Elementum in the past year. I remember having several conversations during our lunches with many of my teammates to find out that lots of them never kept their jobs for more than 1 year. Now, I see many complainers giving Elementum bad reviews but in reality, those former teammates who are writing the vast majority of these past reviews needs to digest that most of you were performing bellow average and that is probably the main reason why most of you are no longer working with at Elementum. Plain and simple.
