I have been with Solium / Shareworks for over 3 years now, and I have been able to grow my confidence and my career. I am given the opportunity to build and direct the product in a way that makes the most sense to me as well as the business. I am encouraged to work on improving my technical skills during work hours. It's not always go, go, go, which is nice. If I had concerns about anything, such as compensation or having a healthy work-life balance, I was able to bring it up in 1-on-1s with my manager and be listened to. Management is also very transparent and open about the path forward to help any motivated individual grow their career. Shareworks is a great place to work!

No more long-term incentive program (annual grants) to help employees feel rewarded when the company does well.

Health benefits have an across-the-board $1000 limit now.

No more sabbatical program.

Dev teams always have large backlogs because of how many features are desired, and not enough teams to build them all.

Bring back the sabbatical program. Many people were hired thinking they'd get a sabbatical in, say, 2022. With that being taken away for no good reason, a lot of people will say 'f-- it' and move on. It's like a broken promise -- having the rug ripped out from under you 40% of the way through the five years.
