Pros
The office is in a good location (Denver Tech Center), and has an excellent view. I looked forward to the bi-weekly "end of sprint" gatherings.
Cons
The snide and belittling comments started in my second week of employment, and continued throughout. Only one group of employees received relevant technical training, and I was not in that group. Because training was a required item for annual performance reviews, this necessitated taking classes on my own time, and paying for them myself. After completing the classes, I was never given an opportunity to use my new skills, so it was my time and my money wasted. When a major new project, requiring the use of new technology, came along, it would have been a great chance for my coworkers and I to learn new skills. However, we were not trusted with this opportunity. The project was outsourced. While solving a customer issue, my manager and I discussed how I should proceed. Instead of giving me the chance to actually do what we discussed, my manager immediately went away and implemented something completely different. This happened twice in one day. A coworker and I were both helping another employee with a problem. When our manager found out, it was called “anarchy”. I have several more examples, but everything boils down to the same thing – complete lack of respect for employees.
