Pros

The building and view are great. Some of the people are cool. A medium sized, usable gym.

Cons

Management has a lack of real experience and no idea how to lead. Management and executives do not care how normal employees feel. Executive management is very detached and is unaware of the employee satisfaction. Pay is not competitive, empty promises are made about pay increases and bonuses. Pay for performance is what they say but only those who create a false perception are rewarded. A lot of butt kissing takes place, people who don't produce anything (management, supervisors, product owners, execs). The work content is very mundane and boring, unless you love accounting and construction... No room for advancement or big pay increases for hard working employees who produce a lot of good work but refuse to suck up. No push towards human sustainability, management encourages long hours. Executives treat developers like they are unintelligent and won't see the wool being pulled over their eyes. HR does not protect employees, just a tool to protect management and the corporation. No recognition or celebration of high performing employees who don't put additional effort into standing out. Location is not great, next to train tracks in a dirty, homeless filled neighborhood.

Pros

Fast growing, fast moving company. Well funded and with a big vision for growth. Great offices in Portland

Cons

Sales management kinda old school grinding for numbers, numbers, numbers. Marketing materials behind the need.

Pros

Located in a cool building. Software is nice where you can right click on a field and see the database properties. Coworkers were okay. The HR team seems to have nice things to say about it on Glassdoor.

Cons

The upper management at this company is greedy. They will work you until there's nothing left. They overcharge the customers ($200 an hour for report development) and then they under-estimate the jobs leaving the developers to further infuriate the customers by sending change orders. They love signing those. Then, the management insists, no, requires that the developers bill 7+ hours per day or they're just not cutting it there. The software team also keeps releasing their software without updating the built-in reports that have been updated over and over again by the report team. Why? MORE PROFIT$. Pay was low for this type of work. Especially knowing what they charge the customers. If you have a job offer from Viewpoint / Coaxis in Portland, OR, seriously reconsider, unless you are sadistic.
