My wife worked there. It was initially acquired by VMWare, which then got acquired by EMC, which in turn was acquired by Dell.

They do consulting by developing Agile-based software. They pride themselves in strict adherence to Agile principles and often ask clients to come and work out of Pivotal offices so that they can truly partner and transform into an Agile working model.

As an employee, it can be challenging and I have seen very few people sustain beyond 1-2 years.

I don’t doubt it. When my wife left the company (3 years ago), they seemed to be struggling operationally. They weren’t able to sell at good rates and had high employee churn.

I read about the banning of “Anne Frank” and “Maus” and I got a sinking feeling in my soul. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this? Does this call “Fahrenheit 451” to anyone else’s mind, or am I going off the deeper end of this pool?

I get people are busy but let's not trust me just yet, ok??

I’m interviewing at a few places but finding a pattern that salaries are offering lower than my expectations because of covid.

Would you take the job (good reputation, career trajectory) with low pay (<50K)

Or wait it out?

Also any advice on negotiation would help immensely.

Not worried about bills or anything but have some student loans I can manage.
