TechSmith Reviews

Pros

Amazing culture, people, and products. TechSmithies really do care about each other and are there for each other. The company invests in its employees by paying for training courses and provides amazing benefits. There is a lot of opportunity for on-the-job training as well.

Cons

Limited opportunity to advance in your department, as TechSmith employees are loyal and stick around (ie not a lot of employee turnover, and higher up positions are not opening often). This is not to say the opportunity is not present. I am aware of several people who have transitioned into other departments within the company to help advance their professional careers.

Pros

There is simply nowhere you'll be treated better as an employee, at least in the Lansing area. Great benefits, pay, room for growth, room to move around the company, awesome employee events, etc.

Cons

Tough to pick one, but I guess the most frustrating thing has been that the normalcy of remote work is much-beloved by the engineers. So, if you're an engineer who also enjoys being around people, you might have a tough time socially.

Pros

Great company culture, flexible work schedule, interesting and challenging tasks

Cons

Salaries a bit lower comparing to the rest industry

Pros

Good management, learning, job training

Cons

Low hourly wage. Not bad though

Pros

Benefits are low personal cost Direct supervisors listen and problem solve to their ability Remote available

Cons

Higher management disconnected from day to day. Little to no growth opportunities. Onboarding/training varies by department. Pay is lower than most positions with this title.

Pros

Good people, work environment, and benefits

Cons

Low salary for some roles

Pros

Empowerment is real. As an employee, if you see a need or have an idea that could improve some piece of your work or the company, you are encouraged and supported to pursue it. Importantly, this doesn't mean do the thing on your own, but rather gather feedback, build consensus, and then work with others to implement.

Cons

Valuing many opinions and gathering feedback can mean that we are slow to action. We can struggle with decisiveness.

Pros

Fellow co-workers, middle management, tuition reimbursement, snacks when in office, Michelle Massey as the new head of customer operations, and easy to move to certain teams (sales and IT).

Cons

Upper management, pay, job stress, career growth, internal movement (into development/project management/UX/Technical product teams), and required hybrid in office for nearly every team OTHER than developers.

Pros

culture and work/life balance are amazing. great for almost anyone looking for a software job that melds well with your life

Cons

pay is a bit low when compared to other similar markets

Pros

Good benefits including an esop, good salary for the area, and a focus on being a good place to work for employees. Products are useful and there’s a good focus on customer needs.

Cons

Cultures are different per team. Burnout isn’t really addressed but I suspect its a factor in why some leave. A bit of favoritism in some pockets of the company that grinds on fairness. Turnover is low but those that do leave tend to after 5 to 10 years. Promotion and raises are subjective to your manager and those levels between managers aren’t equal.
