Tries Too Hard To Be Cool

Pros

Some good people work there

Cons

Non-technical management relies too heavily on offshore rather than on talented onshore tech. High school mentality is terrible. Many cliques inside company promote on "you're cool" rather than "you're qualified" Tries too hard to be cool. Wearing shorts in the summer doesn't outweigh the poor pay and poor decision making.

Pros

Great people to work with. All colleagues are awesome, good camaraderie. Work is interesting and environment is pretty nice. Very little to no micro-management. Overall positive experience.

Cons

Lack of clarity. Management relies WAY too heavily on off-shore resources to get work done. It feels like management would rather trust their off-shore resource than their own people. Management seems a little inexperienced, not really understanding the concept of parenting and family emergencies. Kids get sick and their parents need to take care of them. Get over it. The CEO is actually very understanding though. Also, all HR stuff is handled by DSG's staff, including job offers and benefits, meaning that everything is tailored to the Pittsburgh market, which seem really different than the Atlanta market. Salaries are not where they should be for the Atlanta market and the DSG HR departmen insists on using their own resources to find new talent, which are also based in Pittsburgh. It's very difficult to find good people, other than knowing them and getting them hired. Very focused on having your behind sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day.

Awesome Place to Work!

Pros

I have been working at this company for a little over a year now and have really enjoyed my time with Blue Sombrero! I love the people and the laid back environment here as well as the wide range of projects I get to work on every day. The management is fantastic and really makes an effort to make sure you are happy in your position and with your day-to-day work.

Cons

Workload can sometimes be a little uneven. Sometimes you have a lot on your plate and sometimes there isn't a whole lot to do. I don't think this is unusual for any business though.
