Pros

Close to the Bethesda station and food options. Generous Christmas bonus based on tenure.

Cons

Upper management (not all of them) has a superiority complex. CEO forces you to validate all of his decisions. All "compliments" are double-edged. Married to HR. No room for feedback or critique. Any second you aren't working is frowned up. Don't even think about taking a 61 minutes lunch. As an employee, sometimes you need to step up and let your employer know, and we're at the point where we have to submit it anonymously. I agree with all of the points made in the earlier review. Toxic is the right word. You won't be a favorite without working extra hours. "Employee retention is high" has to be measured on some incorrect scale because young workers drop like flies. Each break away from the office is a chance to talk about how much you want to leave. May changes at the top and it will trickle down. Some people have been working here for 10+ years and they get treated like dirt. The CEO may not think so because they're scared to admit it to his face. As we can tell, working from home is very very possible for each employee, but that's also frowned upon. Don't even think about asking for WFH days unless you've been here for 5+ years and you live miles away.

Euclid Technology Response

This review is not an accurate representation of the work environment at Euclid. We have a great team and the company has been able to thrive and grow due to our collaborative, positive environment where new ideas are welcomed and team members are valued. Euclid’s talented and diverse management team (50% women – very rare in the technology field) has been with Euclid for several years, and many started their careers at Euclid and worked their way up. In an industry that is as fiercely competitive for labor as the tech industry is, there is no way Euclid could have the employee retention and tremendous long-term success that it has with the work environment that is described in this review. Meetings amongst managers and within project teams are collegial, open, and honest. Staff are not micro-managed here, and all staff – whether managers or not – are encouraged to take ownership of their work and take initiative in areas where improvements can be made. Regarding work from home, Euclid implemented a weekly work from home program in January of 2020, and this review was filed in April 2020 (at which point all Euclid staff had been working at home for over a month and they continue to do so, with no plan to return to in office work due to the COVID-19 situation). Therefore, it is difficult to reconcile that the author of the review is a current Euclid employee. Yes, Euclid’s management believes that innovation and creativity thrives when teams work together in an energetic environment; however, we also provide flexibility for employees to work remotely. It is unfortunate that the person posting this review has not enjoyed their tenure at Euclid. However, Euclid’s innovative, self-directed, and results oriented environment is not for everyone. We are always looking to improve all aspects of what we do, including and especially our work environment. If this person is in fact a current employee, we encourage him or her to share their concerns with management or move on to a position that better suits them. Euclid appreciates that its greatest resource is our people. To retain them, we have a culture that is positive, respectful and collaborative; and we offer competitive compensation and benefits. By doing so, we are able to create innovative software solutions that are supported by a highly experienced, energized and motivated team who are passionate about what they do and who care about the people that they work with and about our terrific client base. If you are an applicant and have read this review, please feel to share your concerns and ask questions during the application process.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with the team of talented problem-solvers. You get to be very hands-on with the technology, and there is opportunity to learn, grow, and take ownership of the work. There is camaraderie and the occasional post-work happy hour which I always appreciated.

Cons

You have high autonomy which means you sometimes have to take the initiative to ask for help or feedback. The product covers many business areas so there is a steep learning curve, and documentation is a little behind the product.
