Pros

The people are awesome. The Lytx culture is great. While every company has its fair share of tech debt and mess, the engineering teams try to address these as best they can.

Cons

5 year vesting period for 401k is absurdly long. Entry level salary is quite competitive, but the rate of growth is very small. Now for the biggest issue. The company DOES NOT value long term employees and DOES NOT reward loyalty. HC penny pinches and regularly screws people out of money they deserve. I can personally say I've been intentionally shorted at least $15k over the several years I've been here due to their stupid policies and inflexibility to address these concerns. Because of this inflexibility and refusal to reward long term employees, turnover rate is high for the software engineering teams. There are far more new employees at every level than there are old employees. Because of this, I am so torn about leaving. I love the people and the work, but I am not ok with being shorted on what I am worth. Its like a bad relationship. The good times are great, but being cheated on feels like crap and, while it may hurt to leave, it's for the best to move on. I could only recommend Lytx to a friend as a short term commitment.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We do like to have a good time at Lytx and we think celebrating our successes and our employees are a core part of what makes our culture so great. Our recent “Return to Office” events for phase one employees which included free coffee, catered lunches, happy hours and cool swag received rave reviews. We evaluate our overall employee offering annually to maintain a competitive edge in the industry and we’re currently researching the 401K vesting period. We value all of our employees and encourage you to reach out directly to your supervisor or Human Capital Partner to discuss your specific concerns.

Pros

- Located in an awful location that makes the commute brutal from anywhere you are coming from. Yes, that's a pro. It takes you longer to get there, which delays the time you actually have to be in the office. - If you worked for Mitchell, you can transition over here. Easily. No questions asked.

Cons

- Claims to be up front, honest and communicative. 0 for 3. - If you are one of the "long timers" you can do (or not do) just about anything. - No technical vision. - No REAL product vision. - If you didn't previously work for Mitchell or Life Technologies, you're in trouble. - There are some good people, who actually care, but the culture (contrary to what management would like you to believe what the culture is) is to cover your butt, shut up, and wait for the next re-org. - CEO should be ashamed of what he's let happen.

Constant reorgs and churn for no logical reason (all political/power based decisions) - you can count on one at least every 3-6 months so don’t get too comfortable - Constant chaos no processes in place (wild wild west mentality) - Internal competition encouraged and fostered - silo departments (your problem not mine attitude) 3. Does not pay market value 4. Does not appreciate current employees 5. No career development path for employees 6. No growth opportunity 7. Company has tremendous amount of technical debt and has very poor technical leadership team 8. Low morale company-wide 9. political envrioment (be careful who you trust) 10. Honesty is not rewarded but punished and looked upon as being negative - company has a “if you don’t like then leave” mentality - talent is always replaceable and not valued or appreciated 11. Worst leadership team I have ever worked for -No vision - No guidance - No clear definition of roles and responsibilities - Internally compete against one another vs. looking at what is best for the company as whole 12.Company cannot focus on getting anything completed/accomplished - Constant changes of vision and priority which causes chaos and churn 13. No incentives for employees anymore - No stocks anymore - Raises are minimal - No career development of talent - No budget for continued training or education
