Sinking Ship - Software Engineer Narrative Science Employee Review

We are disappointed to hear about your negative experience at Narrative Science. We work hard to ensure that our employees have a positive and rewarding experience during their time here. One aspect of that is making sure our compensation is competitive. As we share with employees in our compensation FAQ, we continuously benchmark our data to ensure our salaries are in line with the market based on each role and location. In addition, we offer a generous equity package and a range of other benefits. We recognize there is much more than compensation that goes into creating a great employee experience which is why we also encourage our employees to give continuous feedback through anonymous engagement surveys and anonymous questions. We use these communication channels to ensure that our leaders understand how people are feeling and can focus on constantly improving and creating a great experience for our team. Our turnover, particularly in our engineering function, has been higher than in years past but is still within a range that’s standard for technology companies of our size and stage. The reality with companies like Narrative Science is that change is the one constant and change often involves transitions (people being promoted, people electing to leave the company and people who are asked to leave). While it can certainly be hard to see people go, each departure gives us an opportunity to be forward looking with the way that we organize the company. Although you feel negative about the company today, I hope over time you will value the things that you learned at Narrative Science and the experience that you gained here. We appreciate your feedback and we will continue to work hard to make sure our employees are having a positive experience at Narrative Science.
