Great product. Questionable office culture.

Pros

For the most part, the company develops a software product you can believe in. Customers appreciate it (as long as it works for them), so it's easy to brag about being forerunners in the construction software industry. Also, they do try to have some "team-building" activities including lunch on Fridays, birthday celebrations, etc. Non-management personnel are generally good to work with, probably as a "we're all in this together" mentality.

Cons

Management is largely disorganized and unappreciative all the time. It's easy enough to succeed, but you have to be prepared to guess what you should do and pay consequences if you guess wrong because management is out of touch or gives conflicting instructions. Much easier just to do nothing and wait for them to come to you, which is tedious and will make you feel useless. At that point they also might micromanage you. Other problems include low benefits and lowish salary compared to other companies in that area.

Pros

Company has a real family atmosphere to it. Employees are treated fairly and with respect. I found that management does quarterly reviews that really help with growing professionally. Pay is competitive along with benefits. The company has a great customer base and product. Finally, the company seems to be growing fast and has lots of success.

Cons

The company is fast growing and suffers from growing pains from time to time. This is a good thing however from my experience because it provides opportunities for promotion and advancement. For me, this is more exciting and fun than a slow moving, bigger company.

Pros

- lots of travel. - great opportunity to improve on your russian languages skills. about 60% of staff is russian. sometimes the error messagages pop up in russian, which is kinda cute - lots of time spent doing admin (travel bookings, helping write English, justifying why you earned a commission). - Not much interaction with colleagues - most people work from home. - Became the construction SME there, which was cool. - constant inbound flow of new tablet PCs to play with. not sure what happens to them, but we always tested something - lots of needs to fix client issues. great when working in a support function. it keeps you busy

Cons

- 3 industry outsiders head up the company. They give you different answers to the same questions - high staff turnover, 40% of US staff in early 2011 - little revenue / no communication means every Q = uncertainty - no share participation - hello techworld - they require heavy contract signing (Non Comp.; Non Disc; Business practice) it makes you wonder what they are trying to hide - well below market standards on pay and package :( + have a tendency to role your salary into a commission / bonus - ownership and management structure is a big ?. seems to be Russian owned. SO much for US construction jobs
