Incompetent Management Betrays Growth Possibilities - Software Engineer Motricity Employee Review

fun place to work while it lasted

they went out of business 3 years ago

Work life balance is treated with respect. I never have an issue getting time off or adjusting my schedule when I need to. The people are pleasant and helpful.

One group has 4 engineers to support 3 directors. With a layer of management between. Yeah, they're a little top heavy. The pride of the company are things like a weather app, a horoscope app. They are hopelessly behind the market and there is no sign of that changing any time soon. Really when was the last time you looked at a weather app and thought "Oh I gotta have that". With such a bleak outlook you'd expect retention problems, yeah we have those too. The turn over rate is well above industry standard. The company quit trying to retain folks and now just compensates by bringing on more off shore contractors. To add insult to injury the benefit package is substandard. Really skimping on benefits is just icing on the bad cake. The salaries are average, just average. The equity and bonuses however are also sub-standard.
