Pros

Exposure to a wide range of technologies - different operating systems, Cloud, virtualization, databases, and more. Also, a good chance to learn tools of the trade such as different IDEs, build management, Subversion, bug tracking, collaboration, etc. Developers and QAs are all nice and professional and it is a pleasure to work with them all.

Cons

Completely incompetent project managers with ZERO knowledge of technology and complete lack of understanding of the required scope of work. The turnover rate is extremely high, people either quit or get fired, although there are a few senior developers, who are very knowledgeable. They have been with the company for many years and it is thanks to them that the legacy products are still well maintained. There is constant monitoring of employees' time in and out, as well as the length of lunch breaks. CCTV cameras are installed at all entrances and in common areas. Employees avoid passing by the owner's office, instead taking the longer route to get to their work area. Overall, employees feel unappreciated and easily disposable.

Thank you for your honest feedback. It's unfortunate that you feel that way but do appreciate the opportunity to make things better. We are undergoing a significant transformation that includes bringing new talent into the organization, including leadership. As with any new hire there will be a period of transition as they familiarize themselves with our organization and our robust product offering. Experiencing layoffs can be an extremely stressful situation. Letting go team members is always a difficult decision and rest assured, we don’t take that lightly. Our recent reorganization was intended to better position our organization for continued success now and into the future. Again, we recognize that losing people is never easy. Time tracking is not something Asigra has done for over a year. The CCTV cameras are installed for security purposes ONLY. We understand life happens and there may be circumstances when team members will need to arrive to the office late or need to leave early. All we ask is that your managers are aware when you are away from the office. In fact, we have made this super easy with the introduction of BambooHR and its available mobile app. We're not perfect, but we will continue striving to be better. Happy employees lead to happy customers, but our number one goal is to ensure we have an amazing place to work for everyone. Things don't always go as planned but we'll always do our best to do the right thing. We do genuinely value our employees and are very interested in what they think and always encourage ongoing discussions. Anytime you have more suggestions, we'd be happy to continue the conversation.

Pros

None, this is where careers go to die.

Cons

Owners are liars and crooks. The product was decent but sales model non existent, marketing non existant. Not willing to listen to or learn from employees. Doesnt listen to client feed back. Doesnt pay back expense reports or commissions. Stay away.
