- Software engineers here get paid what software engineers in Seattle got paid in the years 1997/1998, not adjusted for inflation. So the real equivalent is probably the year 1995. That's all you need to know. It's extremely bad.
- Extremely long hours, so your already crap salary shrinks even more
- HR doesn't really exist. Only thing they do is gossip and don't actually do their job.
- I've heard a lot yelling, screaming, etc coming from offices between co-workers (HR knows, doesn't do anything)
- I've witnessed a good amount of sexism, also a bit of casual racism against employees of certain gender, ethnic groups (HR knows, doesn't do anything)
- Any decent developer doesn't stay longer than half a year as the pay is bad and they can get paid more elsewhere. The turnover rate in general among all professions is pretty bad.
- Software tools are very old
- Software products are really boring
- "Cowboy coding" i.e. "developers" put together buggy software and call it good
- Software doesn't ever really ship out, everything is always "in-progress"
- Developers who stay more than a year are usually very bad at coding
Stay away. I should note that the recent 5 star review left by another software engineer/developer is fake. There has been no layoff or lost client. Pay is crap. Culture is awful.
