Pros

The company has a decent product (from industry knowledge and data science perspective). There is a free lunch every Friday and the salaries are quite competitive. They often let people work from home.

Cons

The biggest problem of this company is it's CEO and several other senior executives. Having almost no competitors they focused so much on the bottom-line numbers that as a result almost destroyed an engineering organization altogether. As it was not enough the attention to details and understanding of the business processes is also something CEO is not particularly fond of. This company could have make it big if they only removed consultants from engineering and put a knowledgeable CEO in place.

Thanks for your review and feedback - we really value this! Indeed, we have discussed Glassdoor at monthly company meetings - our invitation to employees to post on Glassdoor is part of an effort to become more transparent and open to feedback. In addition, we have an annual company survey, we hold townhall meetings, and we have suggestion boxes in each office. We act upon suggestions and feedback to the extent that we are able - but we're not perfect. If you weren't able to speak up at a recent townhall meeting, please offer some solutions to the things you feel can be improved. Come visit HR, slip an anonymous note in the suggestion box, walk into our CEO's office -- we are very open to hearing feedback + solutions. We are a startup; we are a team. We appreciate your hard work and loyalty to Lattice!

Pros

Great benefits, nice co-workers, nice office, and creative environment. Oh my God, you cannot ask for a better benefits package.

Cons

The product has not advanced as far as the marketing, and there has been a mass exodus of marketing and salespeople including 3 C-Level executives, and about ten salespeople and many marketing people in 2015. Early in 2015 there was a lot of buzz and it was a fun place to work then we got funding in the summer and the floor fell out as people left and morale took a hit. The recent gushing reviews don't reflect reality. Lattice trumpets that they created the market and they are right just like AltaVisa and Lycos were before Google. Lattice Engines had a big head start and is hamstrung by not being able to make logical IT and Product decisions as more nimble competitors continue to gain ground. Everyone knew what the problem was yet there was either not the will to intervene, or the authority. In marketing, we'd listen to the sales calls and most good opportunities were funneled to one place in the headquarters office while other salespeople struggled with challenging territories. Look at the Management page on the website and do you notice a few things missing? Like sales and marketing perchance?
