Cherwell Software Engineering Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
The most challenging job I've ever had and I love the work I do.
Review from Engineering Dept
Wonderful overall. I've met incredible people and moved forward in my career
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are open to conversations, suggestions, and they are easy to approach.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team truly listens to and values the feedback from their employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
I find our leadership team very authentic, and I trust they're sharing as much information with me as they can - whether that's company performance, future plans, or long-term goals.
Review from Engineering Dept
They all seem so sincere. The leadership team members are the same whether "clocked in" or living life and it's proven to make for genuine connections and strong relationships, which translate both at work and while balancing life
Review from Engineering Dept
The effort at transparency seems to be the standard. I'm sure there are things that aren't brought to light for company strategy reasons, but overall it seems like employees are kept in the loop. Sam seems to be very progressive and forward thinking, which is refreshing.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Finding a clear direction and maintaining it for a length of time. The leadership team membership has seemed like a revolving door for some years now. One thing that might be benefial is finding new leadership team members that will actually stay at the company.
Review from Engineering Dept
Pay lags behind industry counterparts
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The complete package including health care and compensation is very fair.
Review from Engineering Dept
The option to work remote.
Review from Engineering Dept
Unlimited PTO is great, but what I appreciate the most is the flexible work-from-home policy. This is invaluable to me as the parent of a young child.
Review from Engineering Dept
I said satisfied, not elated ;)
Review from Engineering Dept
Base salary is good, but no opportunity for performance-based bonus incentives or stock options. I am motivated by these types of rewards and disappointed that Cherwell doesn't currently offer them.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Salary can vary, but we could set a midpoint of the range and make sure both my people and I are within 90% of our targeted range. We need to do some adjustments (they were called cost of living adjustments at my previous company) to offer a fair salary to the people who work here.
Review from Engineering Dept
My compensation needs to be increased to compensate for my skills and expertise, and also for the cost of living where I'm located. Cherwell underpays for my area.
Review from Engineering Dept
Again, pay lags behind comparable positions at other companies
Review from Engineering Dept
I was promoted to a QA Lead with promises that I would be compensated in the future. After 1 year of taking on the additional responsibilities I asked about the pay increase. I got the run around from my manager, from my director, and from HR. No merit increase was given. Unfair.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Our team is dedicated, loyal, creative, and always willing to go the extra mile.
Review from Engineering Dept
Positive, hard-working, intelligent, team oriented
Review from Engineering Dept
We've formed genuine friendships; everyone is eager to help in any way possible.
Review from Engineering Dept
Always willing to collaborate with everyone
Review from Engineering Dept
They have lives outside of work, which make them multi faceted
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They need to have professionalism, a can-do attitude, Focus on delivering quality and not "clock-in, clock-out". The general approach is "I did what was asked of me, and no more". We are here for our customers but it feels like it is more about politics and process.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People are engaged and company goals are clearly communicated. There multiple forums to provide feedback.
Review from Engineering Dept
Positive and hard working employees
Review from Engineering Dept
We are one team working towards one goal; every single person at the company is directly contributing to Cherwell's success.
Review from Engineering Dept
Again to the balance. Most people have many hobbies and interests
Review from Engineering Dept
Although there are the obligatory/necessary technological safeguards in place, overall I don't get the "big brother is watching you" feeling. When there is an occasional snafu by management, it seems to be addressed quickly. The people hired seem to be screened very carefully and work well together.
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
We need to get excited and celebrate delivering quality software in manageable increments to our customers. It has to be celebrating when enough customers upgrade/use our software. Not just when it is "released". Currently we are working towards reports and deadlines for external recognition.

Review from Engineering Dept
The work I am doing.
Review from Engineering Dept
My co-workers - people are ready with a smile, encouragement, or a dad joke.
Review from Engineering Dept
Interacting with coworkers by far
Review from Engineering Dept
Access to pretty top-notch gear (i.e. a good machine with enough RAM) makes my job pleasant, as does fast action from IT when I need something. The overall hands-off approach and being "left alone" to work is nice, balanced with team interaction. Learning new things daily. Oh, and free LaCroix ;)
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Focus & investment on the quality of our products & codebase
