Pros

Your direct co workers are great. The benefits are better than average. The office is very nice. The hardware is awesome.

Cons

The core platform for Digital Banking 3.0 is busted. Management will force you to work weekends and holidays. Management will deny your vacation to meet there half sold software and over promised schedule. Management will call you any hour of any day, night, and weekend and ask you to build some insane piece of functionality in 12 hours. Management thinks every bug can be fixed in 4 hours or less, despite the massive technical debt they have already leveraged on the platform. You can not focus on one thing. You are forced to work on dev support for one month on a crappy legacy platform that only the old school devs with a ton of tribal knowledge can figure out. You will spent about 70 percent of your time switching and building environments working on both the front end and back end, and everyone is expected to be full stack. Agile is dead here. You have no input. You are assigned work based on what your scrum master thinks they know.

Pros

Good people in the individual contributor category. Very aggressive company when it comes to acquisition of other companies. Decent benefits, but they need to fix their vacation accrual system, as experienced professionals are offered 2 weeks...strange. Company does care about charitable giving and they have a pretty good entry-level college hire program.

Cons

The leaders have a long way to go. Not much, if at all, in the way of management training, and performance management is almost non-existent and arbitrary. CEO manages with fear tactics and there is very limited work-life balance (the reason I left - 55-60 hours a week for two years).

Pros

The benefits are comparable to larger companies

Cons

Management need to have interaction with employees. Contractors have the core product knowledge therefore there is no spirit of cooperation or transfer of knowledge and management is not able to bring that to the table.

One hears of inaccurate information on the web. This review is a prime example. Our company “Bottom Line Technologies” does not and never has had a position titled “Senior Software Engineer” nor do have we have any locations in New Hampshire. We provide engineering services, training and manufacturing solutions and are based in Maryland. Our management is VERY involved. There is a entirely different company “Bottomline Technologies” in Portsmouth NH that is involved in “payments and invoice automation software and services” for whom this person may have worked. To the OP: We all make mistakes. Please fix yours by removing this posting. Bottom Line Technologies Inc.
