Thank you for the 5 star review. I am pleased to hear that you are loving working at Connected so far and notice that we are always looking to give back to employees in any way we can. Thank you for mentioning core working hours. This is an area that we are still in the process of defining. We are currently relying on teams forming and norming and are focusing on driving a performance-driven organization. That said, core hours are still something that we are working to get a better understanding of Connected. I hope to provide more details on this topic soon. - Mike Stern, CEO

Thank you for sharing a 4 star review! I’m glad your experience at Connected had a strong culture and work-life balance. While we often partner on projects with clients who need to make progress either in the what, how and why of product development, part of the requirements of working with others is teaching our best practices and working within their requirements. Trade-offs are inevitable when you are building trust in your practice. We ultimately want our clients to buy what we believe, not what we do, but that's part of why we're hired; to build trust in aspirational best practices and execute against that trust. - Mike Stern, CEO

Pros

- Company values are great and aligned with people - Fun and truly collaborative environment - Variety of projects - Product Owners are very good and skilled - Senior management is thoughtful, respectful and willing to listen to staff concerns

Cons

- I find the payment to be adequate for entry level folks but senior folks tend to leave for better payment - Senior engineers tend to accumulate too many responsibilities; they tend to have double duty and need to share their time with the external (customers) vs internal (Connected) responsibilities - Some projects are full of recent graduates and many not benefit from more experienced folks

Thank you for the 5-star review! I really appreciate you sharing your experience and being part of what makes Connected an amazing place to work. I take pride in hearing that the leadership team is thoughtful, respectful and listens to Connector’s concerns. Connected regularly reviews salary relative to contribution and to the market. With the market as it is today, we want to make sure that our total compensation package is attractive to Connectors at all levels. Total compensation includes base salary but, for Connectors it also includes annual performance bonuses, a great RRSP-matching program, vacation and other days off, great health care benefits, support for setting up your home office and taking care of your well-being. With regards to the senior engineer’s responsibilities, we rolled out an updated banding structure to set expectations and we'll be introducing updated pathing to help level the load. Second, rotation suggestions are surfaced as part of quarterly planning and this will help to balance with internal and external responsibilities. - Mike Stern, CEO
