Pros

1. Teammates are nice and helpful 2. There are talented people here 3. Making money out of meaningful work

Cons

1. Software engineers are underpaid, even compared to other companies in Pittsburgh, at least this is what glassdoor is telling me. 2. Management is terribly poor. People working on same project can be managed by different managers. 3. Many managers don't understand technology, but only know how to talk and command. 4. There is politics here. Employees can be disliked/liked due to other reasons, not only by their ability and performance.

Thank you for your review and expressing your concerns. I strongly encourage you to discuss these concerns with your team's leadership to collaborate on how we can work together more effectively. While we respect your opinion, I would like to provide some facts that differ from some of the points you noted. With respect to compensation, studies show that data that is public (Glassdoor or otherwise) is often inflated or generally inaccurate as it is self-reported. TeleTracking purchases strong external validated benchmark data, and leverages external consultants to confirm our compensation structure. We pay at or above market as compared to other Pittsburgh organizations. With respect to promoting from within, ~20% of our development team has been promoted in the past two years (benchmarks run around 5% for other similar organizations). At times we need to bring talent in from the outside for expertise that we just do not have internally; it takes time for people to develop, especially as new technologies outpace learning time. Additionally, there is not a manager/leader within the team that isn’t technical. We believe that everyone needs continuous improvement - better never stops - and ask everyone to do their part to help each other grow and develop.
