Pros

I can honestly say that not a day goes by that I am not proud to be with this company. The individuals in this organization at every level - colleagues, managers, executives - are friendly and knowledgeable. Having been with SofterWare for a little under a year, I was incredibly impressed with the learning opportunities made available to new employees - and that's in addition to the standard onboarding program. Professional development is highly encouraged, and the opportunities for advancement are plentiful. It is a great organization for individuals who enjoy working on a variety of projects in a highly collaborative environment.

Cons

The training program for new employees has evolved substantially (for the better), even in the past six months. As a result, I find that newer employees have a more thorough understanding of other departments within the organization (and subsequently, the product). It would be nice to see an initiative where all employees, regardless of tenure, have the opportunity to learn more about departmental processes outside of their own.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Every employer hopes everyone who works at their business will say they’re proud to be there, so to read that is truly awesome - thank you! We are hopeful with the creation of our new Training and Professional Development Manager position, that you have seen improvement with ongoing training for our staff. We also hope that this continues to improve the internal collaboration throughout SofterWare, and enables more teamwork within our departments! Thank you! Kathy

Pros

This place is a growing company. Plenty of opportunities to expand your role in the organization. A steady inflow of new employees with very few leaving for new opportunities. The relaxed office environment makes it easy to communicate your ideas to your coworkers as well as upper management.

Cons

A bit of a cube-farm. The introduction was very surface level, I would have hoped for more of an in depth look at their product lines and what each department does within that product line.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, as we are always listening. After 36 years, we are continuing to grow, and we owe the success to our wonderful team here! We strive to create a culture that is welcoming to our staff, and promotes teamwork. With the recent option of standing desks, as well as the use of the treadmill work station (a must see for employee interviews!), we’re hopeful this allows the freedom for our staff to create a comfortable work environment for themselves. We understand that while the cubes allow some privacy, they can sometimes seem impersonal. The flip side is our relaxed decoration policy has inspired some very talented interior designers to show their stuff - especially during the holiday season! Some of them are true homes away from home! We truly value the insight our new employees provide in their journal, and we apologize your feedback was not addressed. The on boarding process is constantly evolving as a result of the suggestions we receive from our staff. We hope our company wide Second Friday employee meetings provide you with additional departmental information. You can learn about the vision of our various product lines by reading the road maps available to all employees. Thank you again! Kathy

Pros

The company culture is great, coworkers are friendly and are always happy to help out if not busy, there is lots of opportunity for growth and development. I am genuinely satisfied with the company and my place in it, if you have an opinion it's easy to express yourself and you will be heard.

Cons

It can be hard to tell what the other departments are doing at times.

We’re happy to hear you can always find help when you need it. We have worked very hard to create a culture for our team to thrive in. As you know the doors around here are always open, and we welcome you to stop in for anything you need. Yes, keeping updated with our internal departments (outside of your own) can be a challenge at times. Our company wide Second Friday meetings are a great opportunity to learn what the other departments have been working on, and what is coming next. Also, all the managers are more than willing to take time to answer your questions, so by all means, please do so! We invite you to “sail on” with us as we guide our ship through the endless possibilities on the horizon! Thank you! Kathy
