Mediocre startup - Anonymous employee Connected Employee Review

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear your experience didn't match our intention of being the best place to work. As we mature, we will always have room for improvement. We would have loved to hear your feedback while you were still with us, but we'd still rather have it here than not at all. One thing we have to agree to disagree on his the quality of our engineers. Our team members have worked on products for Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Tesla and Uber. We receive applications from some of the top engineers and students across the country, and we hire less than 1% of those applicants. As a services company, we partner with our clients to build the best products. One part of that is challenging each other to find what's right, not who's right. That's why some of the world’s biggest brands trust us to build their next generation of connected experiences. We’re working today on products that will be used by millions of people in the coming years. We will do a better job of making sure our team knows that our clients pushing us to be better is about their passion for their own customers, and respecting us enough to rise to meet the challenge. We don't compete on salary, because we believe it doesn't attract the people we love working shoulder to shoulder with every day. We want people who want to work with us because of the culture, client work and cutting edge technologies. We do offer a generous equity sharing program, which we can do because we're 100% employee owned. We will do a better job of setting expectations earlier. We are proud of our startup energy, and we believe deeply in what we say internally and externally. I've been fed my fair share of buzzwords, and I have no intention of paying that forward. We will do a better job of demonstrating that we mean what we say. If you have anything else you would like to share, please feel free to reach out to me at mike.stern@connectedlab.com so we can set up a time for me to listen. Thanks again for your review, and best of luck in your future endeavours. Mike Stern CEO & Co-founder
