Geographic Solutions reviews

- Management is very combative and has no problem throwing developers under the bus. - Management are scared of being publicly berated by the president so they can’t lead properly. - The fear of the president drives the quality (or lack there of) of the product. Everything is functioning *just* enough to not have the president call their personal cell phone. - Management lacks any functioning knowledge of the code in their department. - Management uses retaliatory practices. - Mismanagement to the point where I began to question if it was sabotage. - Working consistent free overtime is expected and not rewarded on yearly reviews. - Annual raises below cost of living increase. - You must review yourself since management has no idea what’s going on. - Contracts/Deadlines are created with no developers at the table. - The product is built on ancient technology. - The product should be serving the nation and helping the unemployed, yet the lack of care and pride in the product is rife. - The product is universally hated by users. - Every second of salary and hourly employees time is manually logged on a timer system. - Ticketing & Timer are an extremely outdated in-house system. - Working exactly 40 hours a week will earn you a talking to from management. - Agile is just another metric to track developers by. - All suggestions to management are gaslit away. - The president *literally* laughs at the ask of employees ability to buy or earn stock in the company. - Health insurance is very expensive for families. - All developers are on call 24/7. - Work life balance is not on their radar at all. - Developers demo and pitch products but see no reward in pay. - Toxic blame culture on inter-team projects. - The only way to grow in the company is to outlast the person next to you. - Any technical leadership is to just apply bandaid over bandaid. - Every developer in the company receives over 100 automated emails a day. Management says get over it. - The culture is one of panic and constant “Code Reds”. - No amount of loyalty or longevity earns you any respect from management. - Every shinning star eventually gets run off by management.
