Good group with bad leadership

Pros

It was a great group of developers - at least the once I met before the massive layoffs.

Cons

Small company that sells a service (there is no base product) and bites more than they can chew. Execs just make promises they know they will not be able to fulfill, and have to have people working over weekends...

Pros

Good people to work with when everyone wasn't stressed out. The insurance is affordable but isn't that good. Opportunities to stay up to date on newer software technologies. Nice office.

Cons

Over 50% of the development staff got laid off at once in 2015. At a time when client relationships were strained and this caused a huge workload and stress on the employees that survived the layoff. Management added developers to the DevOps team so not only did we have to work our day jobs but were on call nights and weekends. Huge projects would start but management dragged their feet hiring until the hard and long work was temporarily over. So by then the work slowed down and people got laid off. Then the cycle started over. Frequently had to work nights and weekends to satisfy deliverables management promised to clients with little involvement in the estimates from developers actually writing the software. The fear of speaking up to management without feeling like you may be on the next layoff list especially if you weren't one of the managers' old friends. No raises without asking and management made that awkward.

Pros

Thought it would be a nice place to work. I was proven wrong within the first couple of weeks after I started.

Cons

No free health insurance anymore. They cut this out three years ago. It goes up every year the portion we had to pay out of pocket. Health plan was not any good anyway. They use Cigna, extremely hard to find a doctor who accepts this insurance. Also, what you start out making when your first get hired on is what you will continue to make until you leave. No raises, no cost of living raises, no raises period. Absolutely no pay for overtime. Also, they expect you to be on call, and you do work an excessive amount of overtime without the pay. You can no longer work from home, they cut that out. No pension. No job security. You have to accumulate your sick and vacation time as you go, what little you get. No 401 k match. Absolutely no perks here, they do and will take full advantage of you. I worked there a little over two years. Very stressful and demanding enviroment. All around its a horrible place to work!!!
