CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I've been working in the company and been involved in several projects: there is no dull moment, there are so many things happening, so many possibilities for one to find their interests. HR team is just great and does do many things for the employees in the last year!

Cons

If you're not used to working in a team, get things done - it's not the place for you

Great engineers, but you find jerks everywhere

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best engineers in the city work there. They went agile to help build discipline in engineers. Regular engineering and soft skills sessions organized by the employees. They had code reviews, thorough testing procedures, project planning and continuous integration.

Cons

Pushed people around projects without caring if they will like it or if they will perform on the role forced upon them. Little to no focus on automated testing. Limited salaries for specific roles. Difficult to get a raise. Jerks... I mean really stupid jerks worked there, hard to ignore at times - they got a raise more often. Lots of manual testing. Drinking was OK with the lower management, but the higher management was not OK with it - what do they care about what people doing in their free time...

Solarwinds - does not appreciate merit

Business Outlook

Pros

The atmosphere and co workers are great. Great perks - lovely office. The work is really interesting and there are some complex problems to solve.

Cons

The business really does not value it's employees. Never seen anyone trained in my time here and the promotions are just bizarre. Don't expect to get rewarded for a good job.
