Absolutely Awful - Software Engineer Digitize Employee Review

Lots of Things to learn Paid Overtime Birds eye view of processes

Location and Lack of Housing

Some of the employees there were nice people.

Pay is low and overtime is required. They start you off on 2 projects that are completely random and are for the sole purpose of testing you. My third project had 0 guidelines or specification and I got chewed out for not implementing random features that they came up with on the spot. Upper management is a nightmare. The CEO is an out of touch old man who I only had 2 conversations with the whole time I was there. The CEO’s top engineer is a horrible manager and communicator. He will lecture you for things that were never told to you but you “should’ve known”. He asked me to come up with a price for my project on the spot (I pulled a number out of thin air), and then started going around asking random employees if they would buy my project at the stated price. Since they all said no I was lectured about how I was disappointing clients (random employees he selected), and costing the company money (working on a project with zero specifications that I was told to do). The whole experience was a waste of time. There were many red flags but I accepted the job anyway because I was desperate for a job in a tough economy. Definitely something I'd recommend avoiding.
