SirsiDynix Employee Reviews about "great people"

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I am happy to hear that your experience has been positive overall. We do fill a majority of roles across the organization at an entry-level, or as near entry-level as is possible. Our hiring strategy has its pros and cons, but ultimately, we see the cons as short-term challenges. While we have many new engineers within the Engineering team, we know that we have hired amazing people who will quickly come up to speed and tackle the interesting and exciting problems they’ll encounter. Thank you again for providing feedback. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at jobs@sirsidynix.com, or visit with any member of the HR and Recruiting team.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We certainly have wonderful people working here. Like many companies, whether held by a private equity firm or not, certain decisions are made for the health and viability of the business. We can only hope that those past decisions contributed to our current success and strength in the market. I'm encouraged to see that you still had a great experience with us overall. I am hopeful that you are happy and successful in your current job, and that you are still able to serve customers in a consulting and training capacity.

Thanks for the review and for your years of service within our Software Development team!

Thank you for your comments. It’s unfortunate that your experience has been very atypical of most of our employees. As you can see from the plethora of other great reviews, most employees have an overwhelmingly positive and enjoyable experience here. Over the past several years we have worked hard to build an outstanding culture and company, and this includes investing in our people, promoting from within, expanding benefits, and rewarding and recognizing outstanding performance. In 2013, nearly 20% of our employees were promoted, with many of those moving not only within their department but also to other departments. As you know most new employees join the company in entry-level positions, and with our huge internal focus on promoting from within nearly all senior positions being filled by existing employees. We also strive to have great benefits. Over 80% of the medical, dental and other benefits are paid by the company, we offer a 401(k) and HSA company match, and last year we added or increased additional benefits, such as adding maternity and paternity leave and increasing adoption assistance. In 2013, we also introduced an employee recognition program that provides immediate and very frequent employee rewards for outstanding work, and these benefits can be used for free food, swag, gift cards, and attending entertainment events. Not only does the company provide free drinks, espressos, and sodas, we offer free bagels and fruit every Friday, we occasionally provide free food, we subsidize the onsite food, and well over 50% of the food purchased onsite is paid for with benefits from our employee recognition program. We also have many other company-sponsored activities each month for employees and their families, from outstanding live events and shows to in-house competitions, team sports events, and volunteering opportunities that support our commitment to the surrounding communities and environment. Regarding the training, SirsiDynix is committed to fulfilling or exceeding requirements for national and international certifications and compliance, and doing this requires that all employees understand their responsibilities on security (specifically NIST and ISO 27001), antidiscrimination, preventing sexual harassment, and complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We also offer these online so you can complete the training at your convenience. We appreciate the success we’ve achieved, and overall, our employees are extremely happy and we have very little voluntary turnover. Nevertheless, we are constantly making changes based on employee feedback; if you have any specific suggestions, there are many channels by which to voice these, including our online, anonymous internal suggestion box. Additionally, you can contact the Recruiting and HR team at any time if you would like assistance with your career planning. Thanks again for your feedback. I sincerely hope you take advantage of the many opportunities we have available for you to continue to build a satisfying, progressive career with us. And, most importantly, please reach out to me if I can help improve your experience here.
