Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback. You’re right about Scitent having smart employees, and we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such great people. We take pains to have the right person in the right role at all levels, with individuals who are committed to our core values. We also want to make sure that each of our employees feels like they have the opportunity to develop expertise in their own field through company-sponsored professional development and that they can collaborate with others in alternative areas to expand their knowledge base. Scitent has a long track record of filling positions internally, helping individuals grow into other positions, and being willing to nurture their growth to proficiency. We are also looking for opportunities to promote people for their domain expertise. Not all our promotions involve taking on management roles - many result in more responsibility, professional advancement, and of course, compensation. Family first is a value that resonates from the CEO to each department and each team member. It is very disappointing to hear that your experience did not reflect this and we will take a pulse check moving forward to determine if others feel the same way. We absolutely want our team members to know that family first is something we encourage and embrace. We have reinforced our product management in an effort to build out capabilities and maximize the opportunity to commercialize the products that we are building in-house. These efforts include a thorough assessment of how our technology products align with our company’s strategy and the market needs. We genuinely care about this company, our team members, and our customers, so thank you for your feedback, it really does make Scitent a better place to work. If you would like the opportunity to speak further with our CEO to address these concerns, please send us an email at HR@scitent.com, and she will reach out to you directly.

Pros

I have had the distinct privilege to work for Scitent for 9 years. We grew from single digits to double digits over that time which provided me with opportunities to experience the growth of a company. Scitent provides you the autonomy to create your own career path and for those willing to take advantage of that, it offers wonderful career building moments. One of Scitent’s positive attributes is its people. I always marveled at how past employees would come to visit or stay in touch after leaving. I valued the friendships that were created there and took pride in the work completed as a team. I went through many challenging life changing events during my tenure at Scitent and was overwhelmed by the support I received from leadership and fellow team members. The ability to have a flexible schedule or work remote, as long as work was completed, was truly a job perk. Scitent is a company with a true entrepreneurial spirit willing to invest in projects and new ideas. It embraces a startup mentality though it has over 20 years of experience. If an organization is looking for a partner to run hard and fast, Scitent should be on your list to contact. If an individual is looking for a dynamic work environment and the opportunity to help develop businesses in the eLearning space, Scitent would be a great choice.

Cons

Prioritization is always challenging for any organization. With that said, Scitent is aware and making positive intentional steps towards this. Along the lines of prioritization, I would like to see Scitent make sure that they schedule company wide initiatives along with the everyday work. I believe that leveraging the internal workforce to not only deliver solution for customers, but to also work on internal processes and improvements builds a strong culture, instills trust and breeds an engaged workforce.
