ConnectiveRx Software Developer reviews

Upper management was incredibly toxic and would lie or gaslight you on a dime. Daily requirement changes to our tickets was commonplace. Deadlines were not usually met, and every bug was a level-5 fire. There was huge pressure to accomplish tasks as quickly as possible. I find it a little hard to blame my immediate managers for this though: sh*t rolls downhill, and so they were probably getting pressured from up high and weren't happy about it either. I'm a little more understanding than others I know, though. I can say this: I once asked the director of my department for more support a month or two after I joined, and was told to work overtime and that I wouldn't be coddled. I was already working 50-70 hour weeks just to come up to speed since (1) documentation was severely lacking, and (2) on-boarding was basically non-existant. Hearing that was one of the low points of my tenure. Being told to embrace the chaos was another. I'm so glad I got out when I did. I heard it got worse.

The company, as a whole, needs to do some self reflection. The outreach and diversity groups seem forced. There is no room for growth or promotions. Raises are 3-5% YOY. I was told at one point to "wait my turn" and "put in the time" when I inquired about moving to a more senior role even after being repeatedly told I was performing at a senior level. They recently went through layoffs and the way everything unfolded, it wouldn't surprise me if they are looking for a buyer or new investors. There are two locations, Pittsburgh and NJ - the teams are very disjointed and do not work together well.
