Great - Software Engineer XS Brokers Employee Review

Great place to work at

small firm - tight on money

Supportive colleagues and a flexible work-from-home environment.

The workload consistently exceeds the available time and resources, creating challenges in meeting deadlines and maintaining efficiency. The organization has a significant number of employees who are friends or family to the owners creating allowances that shouldn't acceptable. The current systems in use, AIM and ImageRight, are outdated and frequently encounter issues. Weekly disruptions are common, such as Outlook malfunctioning, AIM being non-operational or experiencing significant lag, and the need for regular server restarts to restore functionality. Additionally, there are challenges with management practices. Leaders often make grammatical errors in communications and frequently alters daily processes, leading to confusion and inefficiencies. Furthermore, account executives are held to inconsistent standards, which vary based on the book of business they are assigned.
