Valorem Reply Software Engineer reviews

Next to no work life balance. It feels like when the big client asks for something its an automatic yes no matter if its realistic or not. Very reactionary and not so proactive with planning so as a result most of the engineers work 50-80 hours a week for periods that are several months long, most of the time with small breaks in between. To reward you for this effort you get a 3 or 4 day weekend. What good is the "Unlimited PTO" when you cant even get nights and weekends off? Sleep deprivation is almost guaranteed here. Depending on which project you are on, it might feel like you are a valued team member and things are run openly and transparent or you may end up feeling like you are micro-managed, siloed, and no one listens to anything you say and any improvements you suggest are met with sharp criticism and defensive threatened responses and you have no support or access so the tasks you are given feel impossible to complete. Project to project nothing is consistent and it feels like changing jobs every time you change projects because things are that different between them.

This company is results oriented, if you seek to work a strict 9-5 this might not wont work out for you. While I can count the number of weeks I have had to work more than 40 hours on one hand, it can and will likely happen. If you work remote, some of the perks are not available but you certainly have a shorter commute to make up for it.
