Pluspunten

The compensation is package is fair and there is vacation time.

Minpunten

We don't have a qualified Engineering Executive in place to write world-class code. We need an architect who has the ability to understand how everything comes together. If building a product is like building a car, you have to understand all the different layers: computing, storage networking, data center infrastructure... It's not just the carburetor, but understanding the nuances of the set-up to make the connections work.

We disagree with your assessment of our leadership team and it’s disappointing that you felt this was the best avenue to share your opinion as we work hard to maintain a sincere open door policy. We would like to be able to address these concerns over open dialogue with either your Manager or HR. Igloo has evolved from a small intranet company to a leading global digital workplace solution provider. Our executives across the company are driving strategy and focused on running the business of Igloo, and only make nuts and bolts decisions if, and when, they have to. We rely on SME’s and our functional leaders to make technical and tactical decisions to support our strategy and have an expert team of technical leaders who are focused on design, architecture and how to incorporate modern tooling and tech into our product. Igloo operates in a highly competitive, fast paced environment and we are driven to innovate and lead the industry. It’s the type of workplace where agile, collaborative and innovative people will thrive.

Pluspunten

Appspace has offered a great work-life balance, a willingness to embrace new ideas, and an environment that’s supportive without creating constant performance pressure.

Minpunten

Some of the challenges I’ve experienced at Appspace have been leadership inconsistency due to organizational changes and turnover at the upper-management level. At times, decision-making authority felt limited, which slows progress. There also needs to be more structured coaching and mentorship opportunities from senior high performers to help support continued growth and development.
