Advicent Solutions Software Developer reviews

I worked at this company for three semesters while I was in college. After my first semester, I was asked to come back and was placed on a new team. On this new team, a new joiner who was the scrum master sexually harassed me multiple times (on company time and company property). Some examples of this include: -Me messaging him asking what time he's available until, to which he responded with "I'll stay as long as you want bb ;)" -After asking why calendar dates aren't showing up on our application at the correct time, he responded with "I don't know, I'd love to take you out at night instead" -After mentioning that I'm inclined to working with backend applications, he told me "glad to hear that you like backend ;)" -After telling him about a different employee who harassed me via sending me a shirtless pic and telling me that he gets flirty when he drinks vodka, he told me that maybe he should send me a shirtless pic too in order to try to "get me to swing back to men". After reporting these incidents to HR, they took no action other than telling these men not to contact me further. I don't think I've ever experienced a higher level of frustration than when I was forced to come out of the closet to higher ups in order for the impact of his comment to be understood. If you are a woman or LGBT, this workplace will not be friendly to you.

You will work really hard building a project where you have minimal input of what it needs to do and with little guidance on what needs to be built. Just that you need to build it and you need to build it fast. Management spent years undermining what their competitors are doing but now that they are in the reactionary state. The career track is pretty much non-existent. Even though its a mid-size company, I'm pretty sure the CTO maybe knows your name but he definitely doesn't know what you do. And that is nothing due to your part, your colleagues will rave about how awesome you are doing while he won't even be on the same floor as any of IT or devs. You can work as hard as you want and can try to ask your manager what it takes to get to the next level but they will only ask for more without specific details even if you already doing much more than what you are paid to do. This was even before the promotion freeze. With the promotion freeze and layoffs, its pretty hard to see that you truly will climb up at the company, which might be okay, but you will be making less than the area average within software development industry. Tech side you will be working with mostly the latest and greatest, but everything is backed by a legacy code that is starting to show its age. Short deadlines will force you work late and make a lot of TODOs.
