Pros
I've been working in IT as a developer for less than 2 years. Reading through these posts compelled me to give my opinion of the IT realm at Businessolver. If you're looking for an easy job, this place isn't it. If you want to focus on one thing, this place isn't it. I've never been asked to stay after 5, or come in before 8. Once a week I'll work a few hours from home at night because I want to complete something. Your days can slip away from you pretty easy. IT moves really fast, and our release schedule is quick and relentless.
I really like the flat management structure. Each team has a lead, and the leads report to the VP.
We are using some of the best supporting technologies.
We mostly do video meetings so we're not staring at a phone.
We've had some new leaders come on board. They are bringing more great ideas..
Quarterly reviews, and we finished our first internal Hackathon! We are starting a al-a-carte of tasks where they have a price, and if you complete it on your own time, you get the $.
Aside from all that, the best "Pro" is not just the employees, but the quality of employees. They are passionate and driven. It's fun to be around people who are great at what they do, and it has vastly improved my skill set as well.
Cons
Parking -When I started, we all walked uphill both ways in the snow.
Interview process needs improved..
Possibly back-to-back interviews to be more considerate of the prospect's time.
Ditch the video recording and do live video chat if there is a need to show technical skills.
