Pros

-The development teams work well together. - co-workers seem to care about the each other as much as the project. - Fjorge is continuing to move towards streamlining projects. Having more consistency among teams and contacts. -Some members of sales look out for the best interests of the development teams -The company has massive potential to be a leader in web development

Cons

-Members of leadership do not follow core values and have zero repercussion to other staff knowledge -Leadership has members who are day in/out toxic to the staff and use inappropriate language and threats -Staff seem to talk about the same issue continuously in check-in meetings and through the office but nothing seems resolved b/c of fear of upsetting leadership. -Specific behavior from the leadership team has been called out by everyone except leadership. Its concerning that leadership continues to allow these actions to continue -Everyone feels like everyday could be their last day

We have put a strong emphasis on employee satisfaction over the past quarter, and we have taken action to hold all employees accountable to core values, regardless of level within the company. The advice to management in this review is on point, and action has already been taken to address toxic communications. We truly appreciate your confidence that fjorge has potential to become a leader in our industry, and we aim to do exactly that.

Pros

The variety of projects will always keep you on your toes. Even during slower times everyone is challenged to find new ways to learn and become better at existing skills. There is a strong emphasis on accountability, following core processes, and genuinely supporting one another. Developers and Project Managers are paid hourly with full benefits, including overtime, so you are fairly compensated for all hours actually worked. fjorge leadership assesses goals and processes quarterly and all employees play a crucial role in resolving root issues on a weekly basis. There are plenty of opportunities to have fjun, including fjing fjong, reward nights, company parties, and pod happy hours. The core value “Chipotle” (that other reviews rag on) is all about enjoying one another’s passions/hobbies, being generally supportive of one another, and embracing diversity. I nearly turned down this job 8 months ago due to bad Glassdoor reviews, and I am so thankful I didn’t.

Cons

fjorge has grown nearly triple in the past couple years, and there are still some growing pains, but the company has already seen remarkable improvement in just the last 6 months. There are two types of stresses: stress from too many projects all with tight timelines, and stress from not enough projects and people not feeling productive enough. These are just the tides of agency life. To succeed here, you need to be able to stay positive during both tides, still have fjun, and find ways to self-improve during both.
