Entrata reviews

Great perks and incentives, fun people and culture

I was in the Entrata development department before the re-branding of the company name from Property Solutions to the accounting product's name, Entrata. And I got to work on the super popular student product and the beginnings of the affordable product. My future is brighter after working at Entrata; I learned a ton. Even saying I learned a ton I feel is an understatement. I learned how to code better after seeing a code base that's a result from hundreds of good PHP developers' streamlining efforts. I strengthened my ability to write SQL as well, because the ORM code used is minimal in design so coding has to be very explicit which forces one to get stronger in the fundamentals of database and scripting languages. It was easy to trace why something happened for the most part. So I didn't experience the nightmare of working with super sloppy code. I would rate the code base as at least top 20% of all PHP code from other companies. The code could still be better, but in comparison to all of Github or other places I've been, the code is fairly clean. I got to go to India to work with the Indians at our sister company, Xento. I got to go to Utah and work with Utahns. I got to work with some really smart and hard working people on both sides of the oceans. And I made friends all over. I can confidently say the time I was with the company, it was clearly a life long positive impact. The company itself is special, or it has a special place in my heart. It's one or the other.
