Xactware Solutions Developer reviews

1/2 of lower management is horrible (the ones you typically interact with). The other half is quiet and you'll never hear much from them. Yearly interviews are a joke at best. The environment is "work and be unrespected...oh, and you've got unpaid overtime coming up". Benefits are decent (except optical). Lastly, due to bad management (the act of managing, not just the people in management), there's more work than can be done, and you'll get ear fulls about it.

We are constantly massively disorganized and in a "hurry up, fix it, and put out the fire" mode. Everything is chaos. It is amazing that anything ever gets done. As the company grows this problem just grows right along with it. Communication is horrible, company politics are king, you are promised things that never happen, you never know any release dates, and you are never given feedback on how you are doing. When the annual reviews come around they just make a bunch of stuff up to satisfy who they want to give raises and bonuses to based on politics. Everyone is just scared to cross the main manager. Developers aren't valued for their creative or leadership abilities. Instead they are treated like an assembly line worker. This happens unless you somehow get liked by management on that specific day. Opportunities for advancement are not based on reality or job performance but based on some illogical process that no one could possibly understand, changes day to day, and is highly based on politics.
