Needs to get out of the early 2000s - Java Applications Developer Hal Leonard Employee Review

Pros

Hal Leonard has some great products, and good pay and benefits. The work for a Web software developer there is fun, but challenging. The coworkers are fun and smart.

Cons

Software process and tools are hilariously backwards. CVS, FTP, no automated testing or deployment, and all homebrewed tools for issue tracking and publishing leave a lot to be desired. Insurance and benefits unnecessarily complex. No process improvement, any new ideas seen as a threat.

Pros

This was an outstanding company with a rich history, cared about its customers and its people. The stability and security were unmatched.

Cons

Purchased by a Ukrainian company in the last couple of years, they've cut hundreds of people globally, and continue to cut now, in the name of "reorganization". Remaining staff are swamped, and looking for jobs. The company hires and promotes, but only those who are not located in the US get the opportunities. Moral is horrible, fear is intense, confusion is constant.
