Great work life balance horrid pay

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is fun to work around and they have a great work life balance

Cons

The pay is very bad. You can go anywhere else and receive 50% more than here. Seniors start at 80k or less while everywhere else on average is over 120k. They haven't hired a senior software engineer in over 3 years. They have only hired 1 software engineer in 2

An okay company, but lacks technical growth

Software qa engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Friendly people. Most of them are helpful when you ask questions - Work from home option (There's also con related to this that you can read below) - Working with software development team is not toxic (Devs are easy to work with, Project Managers provide good requirement changes on the project if there are) - Environment is pretty laid back you will not get micromanaged - Health insurance is pretty cheaper

Cons

- Lacks technical growth (If you aspire to be in test automation side, do not apply here. What I have learned in my previous experiences have been rendered useless here.) - You will be bouncing around different projects. Even if you are not yet done with a certain project, for some reasons they like to have sudden changes on resources by assigning them to different ones. This is kinda annoying because when you're getting used to your project, suddenly you get assigned to different one which can affect your learning in this company. - WFH setup is possible but they will not encourage you to do it. And if you do, your work will not get recognized as much as those who work frequently in the office. Just be firm and tell the employees not to work at home. I don't recommend here if you want a remote setup. - Low pay. They have barely pay raises.
