Pros

Salary is market rate for this area, the work can be empowering and challenging. Loads of opportunity to work on different types of projects. Casual dress code.

Cons

Timesheets. High turnover, because of (amongst dysfunctional management) timesheets. If you have the patience to be able to fill out timesheets daily and hourly, even if you're a salaried employee then this is the place for you. The amount of pressure on employees to be more billable presents a dreadful situation. Sorry, but there are much better options in the DC Metro area for this kind of work. The industry is changing rapidly, Whereoware is missing the big picture by micromanaging employees into a revolving door of burnouts.

Pros

The people are great and they just moved to an awesome new office in Chantilly. Management has an open door policy and are very approachable and understanding as long as you are honest and straight forward. The exposure to different clients and projects give you a great opportunity to learn a lot and build a great knowledge base.

Cons

I've seen Whereoware go through the growing pains of any small business transitioning to a medium sized company. The lack of an HR department with consistent work policies have sometimes led to issues. And because they are growing quickly and do not have a true HR department - there were times when understaffing was an issue.

The "bads" heavily outweigh the "goods."

Pros

- The CEO definitely knows how to run his company. He's inviting, genuine, and truly cares about the employees. - Schedules are almost jokingly flexible. (Remote whenever necessary, PTO, sick days, etc.) - Casual dress code - Fun themed party days (Halloween, Pot lucks, Pajama Days, Christmas, etc.)

Cons

- Its unfortunate that the partner of this company is the one that might be sending people straight out the door. He's incredibly rude and doesn't take your work or your problems seriously. Every time I ever had an interaction with him, I always left the conversation feeling extremely under appreciated. - The teams lack much better management. Be prepared to be given work that is not even a part of your job description. - You will be overworked and underpaid. - Absolutely NO opportunities for growth

At Whereoware, rudeness or unprofessional behavior is not tolerated, ever. Bring it to my attention and I will deal with it. We have worked hard over the last 6-12 months to identify several career paths. We are a smaller company working within our bounds to provide opportunities for people to learn different skills, find what they truly like doing, and providing a clear path for growth. We are growing fast now so that in and of itself will open more opportunity. But promotion at Whereoware is merit based and that means that not everyone gets promoted. We are committed to paying market competitive compensation.
