It is a very positive experience. The work is challenging and there is no shortage of it. From time to time, I wish I could have more of an impact in my role to get better results (and I know I could have an impact), but change takes time at Ivalua and decision-making is very slow.
Benefits are very generous and employee-focused.
Sense of humor. Most are hard-working and responsive.
Down to Earth. Cool. Like the fact that most (definitely our CEO) appreciate their employees at a personal level.
Collaborative and energetic culture, especially among some departments that are customer-facing and really engage for the benefit of their customers.
Casual yet professional. Great office culture for those who come to the office. A strong sense of customer-focus and collaboration, for the most part.
Challenging work and the fact that there is much work to be done requiring my experience and creativity. Working for a smaller, pre-IPO company, we are constantly improving policy, practice, and protocol, and it's great to be able to recommend new approaches to things.
They are extremely talented and down to Earth people. Also very fun to work with. DKD is an especially approachable CEO. He makes you feel like a peer and this motivates me to work especially hard for the company. Same with DAM and other execs.
Ivaluans are by and large cool people and very approachable. We have a very positive and upbeat culture. Sometimes I think a bit too much as it may gloss over our need to be candid with each other about our mutual needs and performance level.
The people I work with and the knowledge that there's a lot of work to do to prepare Ivalua for future growth; and that I can really make an impact in that growth and my talents won't be dissolved into the culture of a massive company.
Benefits offerings are extraordinary in the US, even though I don't take advantage of all of them. I think my base compensation is more or less fair. My bonus really isn't competitive for my level (as a % of base), nor does it reflect the importance of my role.
