Ignite Solutions Response
5yI'm quite taken aback by this review. Clearly, something is not going right for you and I am deeply bothered.
We take pride in being an employee-first company, a low-stress environment, intellectually-challenging work, good camaraderie, and mentorship in the organization.
We are working in multiple technologies, predominantly highly scalable cloud systems using a Python stack with React on the front end. Our mobile apps are either native or in Flutter. Whenever we have a choice (which we do quite a bit since we become the CTO for a lot of our clients), we influence our clients to use absolutely modern frameworks and languages. None of our work is maintenance work. Occasionally, we do get clients using other technologies (like ExtJS) where they need new product extensions built. The specific project using ExtJS is a superbly architected, fully data-driven UI with lots of configuration capabilities. What you should note is that the work we do on these projects (as with all our projects) is to leverage the framework to build innovative and robust systems. While the choice of the framework may be an issue, the learnings and exposure to really clever solutions were fantastic - this is my opinion but I guess I am a tech-head :-)
Yes, we do encourage our employees to write reviews on GlassDoor (without coaching or telling them what to write), and we respect every opinion that is written. We take pride in the business we do and how we treat our employees. Reviews are a way that prospective employees can get to know about us.
Like I mentioned, your review has deeply bothered me. I encourage you to speak to the senior leadership or to me directly to see how we can make things better for you. Please do reach out and engage in a discussion.
