Pros

This was a great company to work for. Leadership was great and inspiring. I felt like my company cared about me and my co-workers and made decisions with everyone in mind. Morale was over the top and I loved coming to work. We all did. Everyone was equal, no one had offices, and we weren't afraid to say what we thought. Our opinions mattered.

Cons

Our company is now run by the executive's egos. Manipulation has replaced inspiration. Restructuring has taken our job security, morale, culture and job satisfaction away. People are manipulating and lying to each other, and is encouraged by management. Everyone is backstabbing trying to get to the top. I'm not sure if new management is very manipulative or incompetent. They are blatantly lying to their employees and are lying to the executives about how things are going. Everyone is scared to tell the truth so they smile and lie about what they think. We are forced to fill out happiness surveys that our leaders tell us are anonymous. They are not anonymous so very few people will actually tell the truth because they fear losing their jobs.

Slyce Response

Thanks for taking the time to review your experience at the New Waterford Slyce office. Your honesty is what helps us grow and improve. We understand that changes in management can be tough for everyone but change, in a growing start-up is inevitable. I reviewed every single one of the recent survey responses and brought the common themes to our recent Town Hall. What can sometimes happen with management is, they do their best to answer everyone’s questions and sometimes they get it wrong. It’s a natural, human mistake and happens in all departments. Thanks again for your feedback and we do hope that you reach out to myself or Michelle our HR Manager directly with your ideas for improvement! Erika Racicot - Co-founder & COO

Pros

Small team filled with smart and motivated engineers. Clear direction from product / business. Opportunities to work on some bleeding edge tech. Team members are given top tier tools for work. Center City office is in a great location. Flexible work from home policy. Medical / Dental plans are great.

Cons

Open floor plan can get noisy at times. The tech team in PHL is growing fairly quickly, which brings about some challenges. Vacation time is accrual based, unlimited would be nice.
