Pros

No longer anything positive. Keep looking

Cons

Let see, if you like the term staff reduction- this is the place for you. Used to be 190 employees, now with the sell off of the education side, and more cuts, down to 110. People who have 25 years in with the company, nearing retirement…cut. You have to ask yourself, is this someone you want to work for? Keep looking, there are so many better options out there, in and out of the IT field.

Weidenhammer sold the Education division to enable the organization to focus on our core competencies in commercial services. We were pleased to find a buyer who kept all the Team Members employed, at the same rate of pay, and with excellent benefits. To aid in the transition we paid the benefits for all employees until the new company’s benefits were in place. A majority of employees of the former education division that was sold are reporting that they have found an excellent home with lots of opportunities and are delighted with the transfer. We wish all our former Team Members well, as we focus our strategy on sustaining a competitive advantage in the digital marketplace.

Pros

Management let's you get the job done without micromanaging. Most of the company is remote but there's an office available in PA if you want that as an option. Everyone is nice here, there are no jerks.

Cons

Growing and working on building out processes for managing projects, it can sometimes be unstructured.

Pros

In an unstable market with mass layoffs and gross mismanagement by execs, John Weidenhammer continues to lead the company he founded in 1978 with integrity, wisdom, and what some might say "old school" values and work ethic. Hammer's business-to-human approach is validated every day by unsolicited client thanks and testimonials, and proven by the unusually long tenure of both our clients and employees.

Cons

'Old school' can result in legacy paradigms, tools, and operations that are being addressed and improved on. Stability from being fiscally conservative means you will be fairly but never over paid as is the case with many tech companies throwing money at problems and then laying off its people when they persist. While a positive, the long tenure of employees can also lead to bias and 'always done that way' mindsets with limited external context of advances being made outside of the company. This requires change, and people are inherently change averse.
