Pros

Interesting Software Company based out of St Louis (big for the region) - team structure is very agile and heavy focus on quality (TDD)

Cons

Company needs more structure and drive to be truly successful. Over-focus on TDD and engineering quality vs. Product can lead to over-engineered solutions.

Thanks for the positive review! Since your review (as you probably know), we've been putting more structure in place to help people feel connected while not taking away from the team-level autonomy to get the job done that's been successful for us in the past. Our hope is that helps in the "structure" and "drive" department, as it will also allow us to focus on individual professional development and improvement. There's always a balance to be hit for engineering/code quality and delivery, and this is one of the hardest aspects of what we do. We rely on our teams, with the help of our coaches, to find this balance and make the micro-decisions every day that will keep them with a solid, maintainable code base without overengineering and "gold-plating." If you see your team going too far in one direction or the other, don't be shy about speaking out and/or grabbing a coach to help find the right compromise.

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
