Once the shiny objects become less distracting.... - Software Engineer ConnectWise Employee Review

Felt too much like the ownership decided to employ cheap tactics to distract younger employees with shiny objects like the free lunches and such to justify extreme measures of micromanagement. Compensation that did NOT meet up with industry averages. Responsibilities increased like promotions but salary bumps were not correlated properly to the increased responsibilities (unless someone quit and made mention of poor salary). Not to mention all the FREE overtime. I am sorry but my extra 3 hours of work for a "bug fest" event (fancy shiny language for forced overtime) is worth a heck of a lot more than a couple slices of pizza and a beer. It's offensive. Add into that the forced overtime on the weekends is more evidence of the micromanagement that shows crystal clear how little development team members are actually being trusted. No sense of a healthy development process because it's cluttered with poor form and no separation of responsibility. Management tries to run a full dev team like a 3 man dev team.
