Had its ups and downs

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, good environment, terrific benefits, good salary for an entry level developer, several nice perks.

Cons

The biography of Harry Quadracci (company founder and father of the current CEO) is titled "Ready, Fire, Aim", and that pretty well sums it up. Haphazard, seat-of-the-pants development atmosphere, and poor effort given to training up new people.

Poor approach

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not a particularly good place unless you ate just beginning. Culture intends to keep you but mostly is a pass-through.

Cons

Poor communication and listening capacity. Top down driven and ignores sound technical advice in favor of a misapplied agile methodology. More putting out fires than thinking how to prevent them.

It was a good place to work a few years ago

Business Outlook

Pros

Good managers and great co-workers. Decent opportunity to advance. They mainly hire software developers right out of college and this is an excellent place to work for a few years and get experience - very friendly and helpful co-workers, and they use all the latest Microsoft technology. Also they carefully pick IT leads and managers with good social and people skills, so expect a decent boss.

Cons

This was a great place to work a few years ago. Then they went public and bought first one major competitor, then another. They are pushing way too hard and way to fast to get the corporate software platform integrated in to all the new plants. The IT staff is over stressed and over worked. Also, pay raises have basically evaporated, particularly if you are experienced and make more than the entry level software developer. Environment is more stressful and there is more work expected of you every day. Also, you have to take your turn in a rotation (on your team) to do 24 - 7 support for a week. How many calls is highly dependent on your team, but in general it is going up. The closer the software your team works on is to the machinery, the more calls you will get. Company benefits use to be the best, but are drying up fast.
