The Project Survey Reports include average scores for the weekly surveys, as well as non-anonymous survey responses for project teams. I enjoy reading these each month • Overall, clients view us as collaborators and experts, and not as contractors who are just going to hand over a deliverable • Folks can feel isolated working for a given client on a given team, though efforts are being made to remedy this (recent introduction of Virtual Coffee meetings has mitigated this) • The consultancy model can be trying, especially when balancing client requests with trying to make the best decision based on one's expertise • Little time or structure for career development on-the-job...education reimbursement is great, but there's no dedicated work time for professional development • Hiring process is daunting and may be a barrier for hiring some candidates 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 9.0 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 960344 Open I really enjoy working at Theorem and I think you get a lot of things right. Most people I work with directly seem to really enjoy working here, and lots of folks I met at the Retreat and through other initiatives also seem really happy here. Theorem can't be everything to all people, but I think the growth of the company and the level of happiness I've observed means that we're on the right track. Keep striving to improve, keep asking for feedback, and most of all keep empowering employees. 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 2.0 Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Citrusbyte
private:citrusbyte https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=960344 Oct 7th, 2019 12:00AM Open Open Theorem, LLC Product Manager Ciudad de México Remote company with smart colleagues * Fully-distributed software consulting company with top-tier talent ranging from former startup employees to former Apple employees. * Name-brand clients doing innovative things. * Fully remote work style with travel opportunities (or not). A culture that is intentional about radical candor and extreme ownership. More than sufficient transparency to my liking. * Awesome, pinch-yourself annual retreats to cool places like Italy and Switzerland where there's intentionally more time to simply get to know each other and work on team problem solving skills than there is for powerpoint presentations. * Management is intentional about considering opportunities for switching projects after being on the same one for a while, circumstance-dependent of course * Good amount of focus on a small number of things for individual contributors. Very intentional to not put individual contributors on more than 1 or 2 projects at a time. * Low overhead or administrative busy-work - very few company-wide meetings (we're just starting to have one 1x a quarter) and while projects vary, my current project doesn't have any project-wide meetings outside sprint demos or ad hoc when needed. Which is nice for focus and efficiency (it lends to extreme ownership by the core product-design-development squads), but sometimes can be a detriment to effective communication and building of trust. * Depending on the project, the work can be demanding, especially (it seems) when on shorter (often "discovery") projects with short timelines. * The consulting life comes with its share of clients who require hand-holding and often (but not always) are not as innovative as we are. Some discrepancy between how you act internally vs. in front of a client, but nothing too far out of the expected. * Management can get very involved in a project all of a sudden; this naturally happens most often when things are (seemingly or actually) going off the rails, which can cause an already stressful time to be topped with an even more stressful period of being under the microscope with an extra layer of explaining, re-orienting, and rehashing decisions already made. And then management will seemingly disappear to the next most burning thing, which can cause a bit of a whiplash. Not altogether unexpected for a team that wants to make sure we're putting our best foot forward for our clients, but sometimes painful. * We're not immune to the tension of wanting to promise the client everything (and get paid for it) and the realities of software development timelines taking longer than anyone expected. * Project work means that you really only work on your project and might not get to know most of the rest of the company (moving projects and the annual retreat are fair ways to compensate for this though). For example, I didn't even realize (and nobody made the connection) that I had a colleague living in the same city until I happened to overhear him talking about where he lived with someone else at the annual retreat. 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 6.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 4.0 5.0 5.0 960344 Open * Continue to be intentional about the things that make Theorem great - making remote work work, radical candor, extreme ownership, problem solving * Continue to show openness and gratitude to employees through constant listening and collection of feedback, as well as splurging on the few times we do come together as a company * Be cognizant of the natural "swoop in" feelings when dropping into a project that is facing challenges. During these times be especially clear in your words and actions about what feedback is simply an effort to improve/get back on track vs. problematic from a individual performance/HR perspective as to minimize inducing dread in employees during these times. Be just as clear about what can be improved as what is going well, to incentivize continuation of good behaviors. 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 1.0 Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Citrusbyte

The company hires well, and that approach means the culture is in most respects self-healing. If you're used to a highly-structured environment, Theorem can be difficult. Things move fast, decisions are made rapidly, and sometimes there are gaps in process.

private:citrusbyte https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=960344 Apr 4th, 2019 12:00AM Open Open Theorem, LLC Software Engineer Buenos Aires Burn out, silos, and constant tension - 100% Remote - You may find some great professionals working with you - Powerless engineering management. They often "listen" and "try to help". But often the promised changes never happen. - Violent omnipresent owner. I even remember a couple of times that he directly attacked me via slack in public channels. Also, he is always literally side to side with product managers on calls and on the regular everyday, and you will feel the pressure all the times. The product managers often behave like obedient puppets. Don't get me wrong, some of them are great and release you from some direct pressure, but at some point you will hear the other voice near them. I worked in a project in which every week they demand the entire application to be finished, even tho the whole team knew that's impossible. - Internal injustice. Some managers friends are working there and don't do almost anything. While others are freed to a military kind of discipline. They demand excellence, sometimes they don't provide you the proper resources, and they will blame you directly if the end solution is not excellent (and not to the entire team as they should, this is related to the silo mode in the next point). However if you make something good, there is no lasting recognition from the managers. I thought that I just had to earn the owner's trust. But that was just an abstract idea that never happened. - Silo work mode. I worked in a small "team". Each engineer had to create an entire app. "Great". So basically I ended up working even on vacation time. Because I was literally the only one who could take care of my creations. My "team" was working on something entirely different. - Work life balance is seriously compromised. You end up working every bit of your free time for them. Bye bye to fun side projects, etc. - If you want to learn something, that should be in the context of a contest with a monetary prize or a direct client requirement, because they pay you to work and produce all the time. This is what they literally said to me. - From time to time they just fire people. Some in strange situations (one ex employee told me a different story to what they told me). So I ended up with a constant feeling that I could be fired everyday. Finally, one day I decided to leave. They forced me to leave that same day even tho I offered them a smooth transition. Like if they were mad at me or something because I decided to change my job. Now, more than six months after that, I am very, very happy that I left. - The feedback system they have is mandatory, frequent, employee-to-managers (aka direct wire to the owner) and somewhat extensive. You are forced to review your entire team in many detailed aspects. This may sound good, but I personally felt very bad when filling it. In my culture, in one on one to managers you speak about things that are unbalanced at your opinion in a light chat. This is different. Imagine a one on one meeting where the manager ask you 20 questions about each one of your team mates. Now imagine that happening every month, in a mandatory way, before the 7th day of each month, in a context in which you know they fire people with weak reasons. -1.0 NEGATIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 19.0 2.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 3.0 1.0 960344 Open The owner has to drastically change his behavior. He puts too much pressure on some employees. Relax the feedback system.

I am truly sorry that your experience at Theorem did not meet our goal of making Theorem the best place you have ever worked. \n\nOur organization is a work in progress. We are far from perfect, but we are committed to making Theorem better each and every day. We take your feedback seriously.\n\nI'd like to take the opportunity to address each element of your feedback directly:\n\n--\n\nFeedback #1: \"Powerless engineering management\"\n\nResponse to Feedback #1: Our engineering leadership team is working hard to balance a tremendous number of complex requirements across our portfolio of accounts and projects. They are fully empowered to make the tough decisions that keep our organization running each and every day. While they might sometimes make decisions that aren't popular with a specific individual contributor, Lucas Nasif (our director of engineering) and his team have earned the trust of our engineering team specifically because they advocate for and carry out pragmatic, thoughtful decisions that put engineers and our engineering practice first. Changes don't always happen overnight, and unfortunately, you left before you could see them through! \n\n--\n\nFeedback #2: \"Omnipresent Owner\"\n\nResponse to Feedback #2: Our founder, Will, runs our Services Delivery organization. He is deeply passionate about building a resilient, capable organization. He spends a significant amount of his time and energy in the details with our teams working to tackle the most complex challenges we face. For team members who aren't performing up to the standards set by their peers, Will does invest additional time in supporting and mentoring them. This is part of his commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind and each team member has the support they need to be successful here. \n\n--\n\nFeedback #3: Internal injustice\n\nResponse to Feedback #3: I believe that being held accountable is in fact the definition of justice. We do have a culture that values extreme ownership. And we do expect the best from ourselves and from our colleagues. This kind of environment isn't for everyone, and not everyone will excel here. \n\n-- \n\nFeedback #4: Silo Work Mode\n\nResponse to Feedback #4: We believe that we do amazing work in part because we work in small teams, with autonomy, and decision making at the edge. No one works alone \u2014 every project includes multiple engineers, engagement managers, product managers, and designers. There are of course times when a particular feature or set of features may be developed by one engineer, but all code goes through a peer code review, and pull request process. Having complete ownership over an outcome isn't for everyone, but many on our team find it empowering and inspiring.\n\n--\n\nFeedback #5: Work-Life Balance\n\nResponse to Feedback #5: Making and building things is inherently messy, and is ultimately a full-contact sport. We are a team of people passionate about making quality products \u2014 and this does require dedication and commitment. We all pull long hours from time to time, but we also believe in doing work that is sustainable. We do our best work when we have balance. If you are a low performer, you will likely find yourself struggling to keep up and making up for that with more hours. For the rest of our team, ending the day at 5 or 6pm is common. No one works weekends, and we offer unlimited vacation. Because the organization is one built around remote collaboration, however, finding work life balance when working from home can be especially challenging for certain personality types. It's certainly not for everyone.\n\n--\n\nFeedback #6: On the Job Training\n\nResponse to Feedback #6: We offer on the job training, conference sponsorship, curriculum reimbursement, and more. If, however, you are struggling with meeting the basic expectations of your role, you won't have time to focus on professional development opportunities outside of your core area of responsibility. If I recall correctly, this was the case in your situation. \n\n--\n\nFeedback #7: Churn Rate\n\nResponse to Feedback #7: We actually have a very low churn rate compared to industry standards. The average tenure on our engineering team is 4+ years. We do exit team members who are not able to meet their job requirements, but before doing so, we place them on a performance improvement plan. They are aware of their status at every step along the way, and we invest considerably in helping them to improve. We put a tremendous amount of effort into finding and vetting the best talent \u2014 it wouldn't make sense for us to arbitrarily fire a team member who we have invested so heavily in without a very valid reason.\n\n--\n\nFeedback #8: Feedback\n\nResponse to Feedback #8: We do utilize many forms of feedback extensively. Our home built feedback platform, Honesto, allows each of us to provide feedback to our team mates. We see this as a unique opportunity to help each other to level up. We believe that real-time feedback is the best way to help each other improve. While it can be a bit intimidating at first, it's actually very refreshing once you establish a rhythm. You know precisely where you stand and always have people around you helping you to get better. \n\n--\n\nIf you're open to discussing your experience more please reach out to me directly at ceo@theorem.co. I'd really appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience. Best of luck in your future endeavors and thank you for taking the time to help make Theorem better. \u2014 Brady", "responseOriginal": null, "countNotHelpful": 0}] REGULAR No No 2.0 Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Citrusbyte

Interesting projects Decent benefits Remote work Global community I cant think of anything more Too much burn-out. The idea of a remote company only works if you don't demand people work 12-16 hours a day. Salaries are NOT competitive. They are much lower. This is the "perk" of remote working. Many of the employees here are not up to the basic standards of their jobs. The whole PM department (such as it is) is poor to mediocre at best. I mean, these people don't have 5 yrs total experience when added together. Probably because they can't get the talent they need. Flat organizations are BAD. Companies aren't democracies and experience should be rewarded, not feared. Yes, that new person has more experience than you so yes they should be "senior". This is a business not a schoolyard where kids get participation trophies. Arduous, overly complicated interview process loses many great candidates who decide they don't want to spend 10 hours interviewing for a company that not only disrespects their titles but pays them less than average pay. Don't bother recommending someone for a job here. Be wary of the excellent reviews here. Either the reviewers are new to the corporate world or they are fake. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE 34.0 1.0 1.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 960344 Open How many iterations has Citrusbyte gone thru so far?

I'd like to take the opportunity to address your comments directly:\n\n1. You asked \"Who writes theses reviews\" \u2014 it's a combination of people who love working here, and people who don't.

It's certainly not for everyone.\n\n3. Salaries: We feel strongly that our compensation packages are competitive. \n\n4. Flat Organizations: We can agree to disagree on this point. We have built an organization that pushes autonomy and responsibility to the edge. This kind of environment isn't for everyone. Management is a support layer for our individual contributors. We don't value inflated titles \u2014 we value quality of work.\n\n5. The interview process: Our interview process is indeed challenging, and it isn't perfect \u2014 but we feel that it consistently produces quality results. Because we are a company of builders, we value action and ability over academic knowledge. \n\n6. Iteration: Again, I respectfully disagree on this point. I believe that iteration is the only way to make our organization better.\n\nIf you're open to discussing your thoughts in more detail, please reach out to me directly at ceo@theorem.co.

Everyone was very collaborative and empathetic for the most part. Management encourages a culture of radical candor and communication. I thought this allowed me to have even deeper relationships with those I worked with. Because projects are composed of small teams it allowed me to take complete ownership of the projects I worked on which helped me grow immensely as a developer. This includes leading the project and coordinating the work of developers on my team. I enjoyed the people I worked with and I hope to get to work with them again. - Not walking the talk - Favoritism - Insincere - Management spread thin - Noncompetitive salary I worked with a mediocre PM once, only to find out that person was also mediocre on another project as well. It seems as if that person was getting away with a mediocre performance because the higher ups liked them. This is in contrast to my experience where I was told I was mediocre, in so many words, and subsequently fired not too long after. Although management said they wanted me to improve there was no action taken by them to actually help me to improve. I was told once to provide a outline of things I can work on in order to improve but that outline was never implemented by my supervisor. This gives me the impression they weren't actually interested in helping me grow, only going through the motions before my eventual departure. The culture is open and communicative until you begin to talk to more higher ups. They take feedback but don't really act on it. This is probably because management is spread thin. It's normal to work there for 6+ months and not even talk to anyone on management and so you might feel like you are just doing your own thing, not really part of the larger company. In my case, this was actually a good thing because once I started interacting with management I began to see how my personality effected how they viewed my work. The salary was not very competitive but the benefits were nice. 1.0 POSITIVE 0.0 NEUTRAL 0.0 NO_OPINION 25.0 3.0 3.0 4.0 2.0 3.0 3.0 960344 Open - Don't play favorites - Walk the talk - Hire more managers - Be sincere and have integrity 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 2.0 Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Jan 17th, 2021 02:44AM Citrusbyte
