Penta Technologies Reviews

Pros

This company continues to refine and work to break through the next challenge.

Cons

Not for everyone - this is a company where you will need to be fully committed to the success of the whole.

Pros

Penta's hiring process was wildly efficient and was obvious they know what they're doing. After two interviews with senior management, they were very transparent about the role, company culture, and where they are with respect to strengths, weaknesses, and ability to serve their market. I felt confident they instilled confidence in the direction of the company without a bunch of fluff and how this role coincides with where they are headed. Post interview(s), they made a timely, competitive offer right away and the onboarding experience was outstanding and very fast! Every person was very helpful and responsive to get me up and going. As a virtual first company, I received all of my equipment and credentials before my start date along with a welcome package that included two books. What's notable is those books also reinforced the culture they strive to maintain and investment in development and uniformity. Day one had great follow up from leaders and it was apparent this was a motivated, results driven company who rejects mediocrity. I was treated as though I added value and was on team calls from day one giving input and expected to hit the ground running. Overall - benefits are great. Leadership is accessible and keeps it real. The people were welcoming and you're expected to communicate directly and frequently. These are all a win.

Cons

The one thing I'd say thus far is the number of places information is stored. I'm not sure I'd say this is a con necessarily, but something to adjust to in an effort to stay organized. There are a ton of good tools and resources, however, there may be an opportunity to streamline data storage. Also - I was told a few weeks in that there were some really good cookies that were supposed to arrive prior to my start date along with the welcome package. They didn't make it, but all is still well in the [Penta] world.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance and management really seems to care about the employees. They trust you to do your work and do not micro-manage. It's a great place to be employed if you are hard-working and driven because management will recognize that and value your effort. They have a ‘bottom-up’ org structure which provides transparency throughout the company and employees have more ownership to share ideas, which they are encouraged to do so.

Cons

100% remote which sometimes can be challenging if you need face-to-face daily interactions.

Pros

Penta is a great company to work for. The leaders at this company look to empower their employees, and it helps teammates continue growing their skills and confidence. Everyone is so friendly and works hard to get the job done well and quickly. It's an exciting company and industry to be a part of!

Cons

None! I love being a part of this team and working for a company that goes above and beyond when it comes to supporting its employees.

Pros

Act very friendly and caring

Cons

Back stabbing and do not trust

Pros

Attracts and retains top talent in a remote setting. Peers are high performing and committed to the products they build. Great place to grow as a professional.

Cons

Not somewhere you should work if you are looking to hide or have an easy remote job. Everyone gives out professional, constructive feedback - if you don't like to grow or take feedback well, is may be a tough culture.

Pros

Takes product and operations improvements seriously. Well focused on the construction industry. Very transparent and takes better care of their employees than should be expected.

Cons

Not a huge company so not easy to find an expert internally on all subject matters, but company also supplements with consultants where needed to make up for this.

Pros

Open, honest leadership. Great people. Zero politics. Mission driven.

Cons

Not the place to work if you want to be told what to do. If you are a programmer that wants to write code without purpose or value work for a big company. This is the place to work for a career not just a job.

Pros

Empowering leadership, self-managing teams, lots of autonomy, leadership trusts and respects the development teams to make decisions, great company morale

Cons

Completely virtual (this is both a pro and con for me because I haven't been able to meet my teammates yet!)

Pros

A culture that is totally transparent! Having an "own it" culture at Penta, allows you to know that you are a part of the team and not just an "employee" within the company. A very refreshing atmosphere from past companies I have been at. At Penta, you will know that "YOU" are appreciated from day one, with the warm welcome received! Looking forward to growing with Penta!

Cons

Great company to be a part of, no cons!
